ARTIST AND OWNER CHARLENE CHARLI VINSON

Born in Philadelphia, PA and raised in Pine Hill, NJ, her lifelong dream was to sell out stadiums while on stage as a musical songstress. Although she still enjoys singing, her life adventures have taken her many different places in this world to experience and leave her mark!

Charli first became interested in art as a young child, watching her mother paint and draw lifelike portraits and inanimate objects on a daily. She also watched her father create beautiful art using objects he had laying around the home. In highschool-she excelled in the Arts (whether it was as a writer, singer, or artist) and became known throughout Overbrook High School in Pine Hill, NJ; as the “Speed Tagger.” Her graffiti and calligraphy markings could be found all throughout the school and neighborhoods.

As a US Army Veteran, Charli is now a mother of 4 and has found her way back to her passion of Art. Charli primarily works with acrylic and spray paints, and in her own words, “Anything else I can get my hands on.” She treats each piece created as if a part of her mind has exploded onto whatever canvas she uses. She sees each piece as an exploration of space beyond the canvas, the dimension of imagination and emotions stimulated within the viewer.

After working in both the medical and administrative fields for over two decades, Charli decided to focus solely on her business endeavors. “For many years- I worked for someone else. Long and hard hours. Enduring pain emotionally and always thinking that that my passions, my creativity, intellect and skills- should be spent where I would always be appreciated. Who appreciates you more than yourself? I do!”

In September 2018, Charli launched @TwizztedTreatz and Twizzted ArtZ shortly thereafter. “I hope to reach people in a good way- be it by my desserts or my art. Art makes you feel, each time you experience it. Whether by sight, sound, and even taste. And each time someone sees my work or gets to eat a dessert that I’ve baked, I hope that they feel wonderfully good. That way- I know I’ve left my mark- and my art, will adorn the walls of people both near and far and if folks decide to indulge in sweet adult decadence created by me- that a smile will spread across their lips and having them coming back for more!”

Charli is a very daring individual and loves to be challenged. In regards to her business endeavors, her favorite line is, “Anything can be twizzted”. She is eager for individuals to challenge her creative ingenuity and urges them to throw various ideas as to what they what for her to breathe into life.
