Since becoming a professional artist Charlotte has showcased her work throughout the South of England and has enjoyed numerous successful exhibitions in London, York, Inverness, Galloway and Dallas, Texas. Following her success at the Fine Art Trade Guilds Awards in 2000, where Charlotte was awarded the prestigious title of Artist Exhibition Winner, her work attracted a great deal of attention leading to the publication of her first collection of limited editions, which sold out in a matter of weeks.
Charlotte's highly decorative mixed-media creations combine oils, pastels and inks and explore the energy created by colour and its effects on our emotions. Although semi-abstract, the inspiration of the ocean is clearly discernible in her work, as misty figures seem to float through a silent and solitary underwater dreamworld.
"The images I create reflect on the spirit hidden within us all, hopefully conveying that beauty really does shine from within". said Charlotte Atkinson
