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. Having walked the dunes and beaches and climbed the headlands since childhood, the subject in his paintings reflected a unique style, which captured the moods of the Northwest. His work has been exhibited throughout the West and may be found in private collections throughout the nation and on the walls of numerous business headquarters and offices in Washington and Oregon.
