Chauncey Homer was born and raised in northwestern New Mexico. His family was full of artists so Chauncey grew up thinking everybody in the world could draw. His early drawings were based upon comic book characters. From that point of inspiration, Chauncey advanced to his study of art at the Art Center of Tucson, graduating in the mid 1990's. Chauncey Homer studied with Ron Riddick whom he credits with having been an important influence on him. The reliance on sound principles versus technique has been critical in the development of Chauncey's technique. A founding member of the Tucson Plein Air Painters Society, Chauncey  enjoys a variety of subject matter, from landscape and figurative to floral and wildlife. It is hard to pinpoint Homer's style because he uses the softness in lighting that suggests the impressionists and his passion for getting the details right leads you to see Classic Realism. Although he is still in the process of evolving, he describes his style as "mysterious realism". Chauncey explains that he "just wants to depict subtle beauty and simple everyday moments".
