Charles Lewis Fussell was born in West Vincent, Chester County, Pennsylvania, the son of a prominent Quaker physician. He befriended Thomas Eakins while attending Central High School in Philadelphia. Fussell began to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1859 and exhibited there between 1863 and 1905. He also took private art lessons from Peter Frederick Rothermel. He became interested in landscape after a visit to Greeley, Colorado, and after his family settled in Media, Delaware County, Pennsylvania he traveled throughout the surrounding area in search of inspiring scenery.
Fussell settled in Brooklyn, New York, in 1889, where he lived and painted for the next eight years, before finally returning to his family home in Media where he spent the remainder of his life.

He befriended Thomas Eakins (1844-1916) while attending Central High School in Philadelphia. Fussell began to study at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1859 and exhibited there between 1863 and 1905. He also took private art lessons from Peter Frederick Rothermel (1817-1895).

Little is known of Fussell’s activities until he settled in Brooklyn, New York, in 1889, where he lived for the next eight years. Dispirited because he failed to achieve professional success in New York, Fussell returned to the family homestead in Media. For the remaining years of his life he painted detailed watercolor views of the surrounding countryside, especially Ridley Creek.
