Cliché-Verres in Colour
“These entrancingly vibrant orbs look like something plucked from an alien planet” — New Scientist magazine
Originally from Lancashire, she moved to London in 2017 to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Illustration and Visual Media at the University of the Arts London, from which she graduated with First-Class Honours in 2021.
Charlotte uses her deep affinity for the natural world and organic abstraction as the main motivators for her work, exploring nature's sublimity and boundless creativity through intimate perspectives. Particularly in the context of the current climate crisis, her work seeks to foster a greater sense of connectedness and appreciation for the environment, inviting viewers to rediscover their place within it.
Charlotte has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, including notable shows at the Royal Photographic Society in Bristol and, most recently, at the Vatican’s Borgo Laudato Si’ in the Papal Palace Gardens of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, for the Earth Partner Exhibition 2025. She was awarded first place in the Abstract category of the Fine Art Photography Awards 2022, and her Cliché-Verres in Colour series has been featured as a centre spread in New Scientist magazine.

entry description
Confined to her home during the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic, Charlotte was motivated to pursue a form of photography outside the traditional photographic darkroom. Her technique is based on cliché-verre, which combines photography with painting or drawing on transparent surfaces, such as glass, to create negatives. Each piece documents her investigation into fluid dynamics and how traditional art supplies interact and chemically react with household substances.“These entrancingly vibrant orbs look like something plucked from an alien planet” — New Scientist magazine
