Chuck Chaney's studio practice has fused his photographic background with a performance foreground, to produce projects which envoke a sense of presence or the memory of presence in each of his projects. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in photography, and and a Master of Fine Arts in studio art with a concentration in performance. Chuck was born in Alaska and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 2008 he founded a summer artist residency in Alaska, The Homestead AK.
