Mr. Mulvey first visited the Peninsula as a youngster, summering with his family in the 1920s. His artistic talent was recognized at an early age by his school teacher mother. He studied at art schools in Portland and Seattle and at The Art Center in Los Angeles. Once settled in Seaview, Mr. Mulvey sold water color paintings in local pharmacies and did commission paintings. In 1955 he opened The Sea Chest gallery next to his residence, which later became the Charles Mulvey Gallery. He taught water color classes throughout the Northwest and western Canada.  

His paintings are on display in many major galleries with permanent exhibitions in Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Lake Oswego & Lincoln County Art Center. Mulvey's works are owned by the Georgia Pacific Corp., the US National Bank of Oregon, the First National Bank of Oregon and the Publisher's Paper Co. of Oregon & California, Craftsman's Press Seattle & in numerous private collections.
