Charlotte was recently appointed as Visiting Professor of Fine Art and was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate in 2018 at the Âé¶¹´«Ã½. She is an internationally exhibiting artist and Director of Creative Curve a UK based arts organisation. After completing her MA at Manchester Metropolitan University in 1999 she has undertaken multiple commissions, building a cross platform portfolio and socially engaged practice. Charlotte’s work is situated in a political framework exploring people and social commentary; translating those observations into a narrative which reflects issues of power imbalance and our dialogue with the environments we inhabit.
