Charlotte Upton

Originally from Cheshire, I studied Fine Art in Leeds and gained a PGCE in art and design from Manchester. After which, I moved to Colchester to teach.

Moving to Essex helped me to focus on the specific elements that inspire my work. I became drawn to the wide open shores, estuaries and farmland along the coast. The lines and textures created by man and wind, the sounds of shore and grasses.

My use of fluid inks, textures and marks combine to explore the rhythms of wind and waves and their effect on the open space of the Essex coast. The abundance of space and light creates for me a sense of peace and tranquility which I hope to capture in my work.

I have exhibited in Chester, Colchester, Clacton and Fingringhoe.
