Charlotte Keating is a contemporary artist based in the Forest of Dean, creating dreamy abstract paintings that invite moments of tranquility and joy. With soft, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant layers of colour, her work offers a sanctuary—an uplifting pause in the everyday.

Grounded in a mindful, meditative approach, Charlotte’s art is an exploration of healing, self-expression, and emotional depth. Working with acrylics and pastels, she intuitively blends colour and texture to create pieces that radiate energy while evoking a profound sense of calm. Her distinctive mark-making and layering techniques form a visual language that speaks to the soul, balancing movement with serenity.

With a strong foundation in creative design, Charlotte earned a Foundation Art & Design qualification from Aberdeen College in 1997, followed by a BA (Hons) in Fashion Design from Winchester School of Art in 2000. She then built a dynamic career in high-end women’s fashion, designing biannual collections, bespoke bridalwear, and a nursingwear range. In 2019, she retrained with established artists, embracing the freedom of intuitive painting as both an artistic evolution and a deeply personal form of pain management, finding healing through colour and mark-making.

Drawing from her fashion background, she approaches each series with a keen eye for colour palettes and composition, weaving together layers of emotion and story. Her work is held in collections both locally and internationally, cherished for its ability to transform interiors into spaces of beauty, reflection, and positive energy.

More than just paintings, Charlotte’s works are invitations—to pause, to breathe, and to immerse yourself in the uplifting power of colour.
