Born in New Zealand, studied art in England and life in Paris, Charlotte has painted continually and has always felt a painter first and foremost. She has exhibited her work for over 35 years throughout Australia, New Zealand and France.

Charlotte Thodey sees beauty in simple everyday things. Vegetables to her are like jewels, they have a vibrancy of their own. Charlotte has a strong connection to gardening and growing, and feels lucky to be able to paint something she considers profound and is also so quiet and singular.

She gathers her ‘subjects’ from local farmers’ markets and is often found scouring the streets for interesting foliage.
