While at Mississippi College, Chuck studied design under Ron Alexander using many techniques with different grades of aluminum metal. Rhoads is inspired by the work of the Byzantine Empire with their architectural designs pressed into metal using the technique of repousse' to create their work of art. Using his imagination, Chuck is able to express his artwork while listening to music from many different composers.
