ABOUT

Raised in the city of San Francisco, Charlotte Reider-Smith’s relationship with paint began at an early age, when she was handed a brush and allowed to go wild on the bathroom walls! While she spent her early years experimenting with photography, printing, and sewing, painting was always in her heart. In 2015 Charlotte relocated to Vermont to study art at Middlebury College where she discovered the magic of oil paint. Four years and many paintings later, she graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a BA in Studio Art. Charlotte works from her home studio, rooted in the land in Goshen, Vermont.

Charlotte’s inspiration comes from the many layers of her life experiences and the people around her. Her work is primarily sourced from her own photographs, whether a close and intimate image of loved ones, or the inquiry into the subtlety of color and texture in everyday objects and our natural world.

 

By building her paintings through a dynamic process of molding, scraping, dripping, and layering paint, Charlotte is constantly exploring, seeking image-making and truth-finding both internally and expressed outwardly through painting. She hopes her paintings will inspire viewers to re-discover pieces of their Real Self; a practice she delights in each day!
