Charity Algarme was born in Los Angeles and lives in San Diego, California. Often using found relics combined with objects made from everyday materials, Algarme creates artworks that explore the intersection of where the known meets the unknown.

You can view her show online
or in person at the gallery 4184 Adams Ave, SD 92116. The artist recommends viewing the work after dark when there is less glare in the windows.

Charity said this about her time at Palomar “Palomar many years ago, where I did my general studies, and then took a long break in between to raise my daughter as a single parent, before continuing on full time at UCSD to major in studio art and minor in art history. I’ve always been proud of my roots at Palomar, where I was fortunate to encounter some very exceptional instructors. I don’t know if you are familiar with Roy Rogers, but he had a pretty big impact on me back in the day. He was actually a true mentor to me- something that continues to be a rare thing in this day and age, when many working artists and academics are spread fairly thin.”
