Charles blev født i Worcester, Massachusetts USA, men tilbragte det meste af sit liv i Springfield, Massachusetts.
Han begyndte sine kunstneriske studier ved Arts Students League i New York City kl 215 West 57th Street, som blev grundlagt i 1875 og oprindeligt til huse i lejede værelser på 16th street og 5th Avenue.
Charles skabte kunstværker i Art Nouveau, Edwardian (som overlapper hinanden, men med den edvardianske stil, der er meget enklere i designet) samt Art Deco-stile, og da han afsluttede sine studier på Arts Students League, han rejste til Paris Frankrig for at studere under den tjekkiske maler Alphonse Mucha (Alfons Maria Mucha 1860 – 1939).
Da han vendte tilbage til USA, han begyndte at producere modeillustrationer til Ladies Home Journal Publication; and would produce advertising art for clients such as the Fox Shoe Company, Gainsborough, Fiberloid Hair Brushes, Grown & Bigelow and La Vogue Lingerie in which he received his first commission in 1918 for a pinup illustration.
He would also go on to produces covers for Collier’s Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, Woman’s Home Companion, Theater Magazine and Photoplay from 1925 – 1930; som startede hans karriere som portrætcover.
Denne anerkendelse førte til, at han modtog kommissioner fra berømte kvinder fra hele verden, som sad for ham i hans studie i Carnegie Hall; beliggende i New York City, USA.
Dette resulterede i, at mange af datidens Hollywood-stjerner poserede for ham, såsom Mae West, Greta Garbo, Mary Pickford, Jean Harlow, Clara Bow, Shirley Temple og mange, mange andre fra Hollywoods guldalder.
