Charlotte Kirkham BA hons (UCL), MA (Queen's Belfast)

Charlotte was born on a pedigree Holstein dairy farm, where she spent hours as a child painting and drawing the animals and plants by which she was surrounded. She was encouraged in this by her grandmother's, both keen artists themselves. Her family history includes commercial artists, architects and designers, theatre performers, a Cambridge Professor and fellow of the Royal Geographical society, two of the earliest female Cambridge Medical School graduates, alcoholic wastrels, entrepreneurs, a saint, Godfrey de Bouillon, Welsh pirate Sion Gwilt,  a Jerusalem Princess, and the Kings of France along with the High Kings of Ireland. 

She studied as an affiliate at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, and was a member of the Belfast Print Workshop. She is currently continuing her studies at the Bezalel Academy of Fine Art, Jerusalem..

Charlotte works primarily in acrylics, oils and print. Her works range in media and style, she has work in over 50 private collections and is available for commissions. To view upcoming and previous exhibition experience click here.

From a child the paintings and poetry of the Pre-Raphaelite brotherhood inspired, a fact made more remarkable by the recent discovery that her childhood home, the family home since the middle of the last century, was built in 1829 by a family who became avid collectors of the same.
