About
Charlotte Harmer began painting in 2015, having been a wedding and portrait photographer for a number of years, a job she still maintains alongside her now professional career as an artist. She trained at the London Fine Art Studios and privately with Anthony Giles and Nick Bashall.
Charlotte’s work is figurative oil, featuring landscapes, seascapes and still life. She began painting as a way of meditation informed by her Catholic faith and she aims to work in a way that reflects that. Her work points beyond itself to the transcendent - outwardly the subject may be a humble household object, but her paintings reveal narratives articulated through composition, colour, light and shade. Her paintings become places where the inner light of reality - the thumbprint of the divine creator - can shine through and touch the viewer. In that familiar phrase, they are "thin places”, where the essence of things as they truly are is revealed.
Charlotte’s plein air work includes landscapes around the UK, West Coast America and France. Based in North Norfolk since 2018, Charlotte’s work has sold around the world, particularly since lockdown.
