The Maker

Charles Shill

Hi! I’m Charlie, a native of Woodruff and a disabled Veteran. I Medically Retired from the Air Force after 12 years as a Jet Engine Mechanic. I suffered a head injury as a child and as an adult developed scoliosis. After multiple surgeries in the military I developed painful muscle spasms, chronic migraines, and was diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome.

The key to limiting my pain has been removing stress from my life. Expressing myself creatively through art and woodworking has come to be an invaluable form of therapy in my journey to a higher quality of life with less pain. Being able to share my creative therapy with others and spread happiness when they connect with one of my pieces is extremely rewarding.
