What does love got to do with it? Well, love has a lot to do with Chuck Fischer’s inspirations as an artist.

Chuck has been dating his girlfriend Jessica for two years, and he has hopes that they will keep growing their relationship.

My girlfriend and I met at the greenhouse almost two years ago. My mom likes my girlfriend. Our two-year anniversary is coming up in September, and we are planning to go to Valentino’s . . . . We’re planning to get married in 2017. We’re moving in together next year.

Chuck also dedicates some of his artwork to this relationship.

Love Is Forever is a piece about my girlfriend and I. It’s really special to me, and the significance goes really deep for me. I also have a photograph from my phone that I turned into a drawing. I blew it up on the computer and drew it that way. I used watercolor and charcoal.

Chuck plans to create more work about his relationship and other types of love — for his family, friends, and towards the world at-large — in the future.
