Chuck Vargo captures the essence of the traditional family in his own portrayal of his ancestral photographs turned to living art on canvas. His paintings spark life and nostalgia as he depicts his family from as early as the 1920s and 1930s (before his time) through the 1940s, 1950s and 1980s. Along with the family photographs, he highlights various venues in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio and his current home in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago. Vargo takes us back to a time when life was maybe a little simpler and family played a central role in it.
