Charlotte Williams has lived in Oro Medonte for the last 7 years and has been greatly influenced by the surrounding landscapes. Most of her work has been in watercolours but she has also branched out into large canvasses in oils which seem to suit the large skies and fields that she depicts with her free interpretative style. Having spent many years in warmer tropical climates, both in Nigeria and Brazil, vibrant colours are also characteristic of her work. Originally from the UK, art formed part of her education but she decided to change her path and studied Biology at University where she pursued her career at both undergraduate and graduate levels. She taught ecology at University in Brazil and these themes are also reflected in her art. Art has always been a way of relaxing and a great channel for her creativity. She has exhibited in Sao Paulo, England, and currently also has work on display in Ottawa.
