OC MADE: Celebrating Orange County Artists

"A Man Named Charlie: Fender’s Unsung Hero", celebrates the life and legacy of Charlie Davis, a quiet force behind Fender’s golden era. Beginning his journey with the company in 1957, Charlie worked every step of the manufacturing line, from rough-cut wood to the final finish. But it was his unmatched skill in winding pickups that earned him legendary status. Revered by musicians and trusted by icons like Dick Dale, Charlie became the only technician many would allow near their prized guitars. His hands shaped the sound of surf rock and beyond, helping define a generation of music. Through decades of change, Charlie remained fiercely loyal to Fender, embodying the spirit of craftsmanship and dedication. This exhibit honors his remarkable contributions and finally gives this unsung hero his spotlight.

A Man Named Charlie: Fender’s Unsung Hero

Josephine Hernandez is a Garden Grove–based, partially blind visual artist whose work explores themes of blindness and visual impairment through an intimate and empowering lens.

Working primarily with acrylic and acrylic gouache, Hernandez challenges conventional narratives that often frame disability in terms of limitation. 

A recurring subject in her paintings is blind skateboarders—figures in motion that embody independence, confidence, and self-determination. Through these dynamic compositions, Hernandez reimagines the visual language surrounding blindness, portraying blind and low-vision individuals as active, capable leaders of their own lives. 

Her work invites viewers to question assumptions and engage with a broader, more nuanced understanding of ability and identity.
