Gniech has presented numerous talks and workshops. He has lectured—at length—on the evolution of his own work, as well as his curatorial process. ​​​​​​​Highlights include The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women-60th session, The Fort Wayne Museum of Art, and multiple presentations at various conferences of the College Art Association. 
Charles Gniech holds a Master of Fine Art degree with an emphasis in painting and a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in illustration, both from Northern Illinois University. While teaching, curating, and consulting, Gniech continues to paint and exhibits at the national level. His paintings focus on the meditative qualities of the stone circles found throughout Great Britain. Having explored many megalithic sites over the past twenty years, Gniech embraces the peaceful serenity of the mystical structures—a serenity that is reflected in his work.
