​Charlotte-Aimee is a New Zealand contemporary painter whose work explores the tension between physical structure and the experience of place through layered oil painting. She completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) alongside a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) at the University of Canterbury in 2017, a dual foundation that informs both the emotional and technical aspects of her practice.

​

Working between representation and abstraction, her paintings draw from observed environments, architecture, and landscapes encountered through lived experience. Rather than directly documenting specific locations, the works evolve through memory and the process of painting itself, holding onto recognisable forms while allowing light and mood to reshape them.

​

Central to her practice is an interest in how places are experienced both physically and emotionally. Architecture, reflection, shadow, and negative space act as important compositional elements within the work, creating paintings that balance clarity with ambiguity.

​

Recent bodies of work reflect an increasing sensitivity to restraint and transitional states. These paintings explore how light, rhythm, and spatial tension can alter the experience of a space while still remaining grounded in the physical world. The result is a body of work that invites contemplation and personal interpretation, existing between observation and recollection.

Charlotte-Aimee’s work is recognised for its subtle tonal language, spatial sensitivity, and contemporary visual approach, and is held in private collections nationally and internationally.
