Design by Charlotte
I have wanted to create architectural, minimal and neutral greeting cards for months now. After the encouragement of my amazing friends I have finally started designing and putting ideas together for these cards (and now prints). I love being able to be creative in my own personal way again, these are giving me so much joy! I sell individual and packs of handmade cards and prints on my Etsy store. Open since September 2016 😌 stay updated on my designs on @designbycharlotte xx

Beauty Beyond
Startrail Photography
03/2013
Star trails are primarily used by astronomers to find the quality of a location for telescopic observations but they can also be a photographic art form.
I have titled this photograph “Beauty Beyond” because beauty is not limited to the earth. With modern technology we are able to see into space and to admire other planets and galaxies. I am amazed at this alien beauty. The vivid and bright colours are almost overwhelming and just seeing each unique galaxy floating in black space is incredible; it is literally beauty out of this world.
Digital Reality
Jewellery, Photoshop
09/2014
Once again I used jewellery in this piece but here I use existing pieces of jewellery to display my newly learnt skill in Photoshop. The IB Art course taught me how to use this program and throughout my two years I have used it not only for editing but also for creating. This multiple image piece displays my developed skills as I created an embossed effect in Photoshop placing simple objects into a dynamic and modernistic artwork.
Cultural Unity
Coloured conte
09/2014
Once again I explored a classic art form, the still life using objects from around the world; the French Earthenware, the Chinese tea pot and the Italian Chianti wine bottle. This global unity of manmade creations displays unique craftsmanship containing elements of culture and tradition.
Medical Aesthetics

I took my theme of beauty in unexpected places to the extreme here. I am looking at beauty in a hideous place. I found some beautiful images that were displayed in a medical photography exhibition of diseases in Atlanta, America and I ask the viewer to consider the aesthetics of human diseases. This is a dark appreciation as although such diseases can produce beautiful images they represent great pain to many people around the world.
