Charles Westgarth  was born in London in 1977, later moving to Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire where he now works.

Charles attained a first class degree in model design, going on to work as a model maker for a special effects company. He was involved with various film and television projects, spanning a range of disciplines. Throughout this period he continued to develop his skills as a practitioner. This work would then contribute to his long-term plans to travel, culminating in a 6 month tour of South East Asia and Australia.    On returning to the U.K. Charles opened his Hertfordshire studio and began personal and commissioned work.

However, his most recent works, inspired by dance and movement, although more abstract in approach the passion and emotion is still very much in evidence. With the use of simple lines and facets he has created a new series of bronze pieces in recognition of the similarities and parallels in the swift and balletic dynamics of birds with that of the movement and energy created in dance. The marriage of the two forms in their exaggerated state adds emphasis to their weightless energy complimenting each other and echoing a strong sense of grace, elegance and dynamism that is shared by both bird and dancer.
