Charles C. McKim was born in Maine in 1862, yet spent the last thirty years of his career in Oregon where he is best known. McKim studied in Boston and New York, and painted coastal scenes and landscapes in Maine for the most part. He arrived in Portland, Oregon, in 1911 an accomplished plein air Impressionist. 

He immediately became an active part of the Oregon art scene creating landscapes, snowscapes, seascapes, and scenes along the Columbia River Gorge. He exhibited frequently and found a ready market for his oils and watercolors. McKim also taught painting and wrote articles on art for local publications. He died in Portland, Oregon in 1939.
