In that year he was painting, printing, building, and hand carving fine furniture and doors. ==Life and Work== Charles Bolsius's sophisticated artistic sensibly was influenced by German and Dutch expressionists including: Gestel, Thoroop, Kees van Dongen, and Emil Nolde while embracing the scale and environmental tonality of the American West. He exhibited his art in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and San Francisco.
