Charlie Warren (previously Hetheridge), began her career in Textiles, trading hand painted and screen-printed textiles throughout Scandinavia, Europe and America.  Time spent living and working in Stockholm and Copenhagen early on in her career initiated a strong connection with the raw landscape, opting for earthy, paired back palettes and using material as a way of translating narratives and memories onto cloth. This continued at the Royal College of Art after finding solace in the painting room, spending days at the easel and translating these unyielding marks through to dyes and silk screens. 

The play between painting and materiality led to a scholarship from the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust, recognising the authenticity of working with cloth and the importance in craftsmanship which are cornerstones of her work. 

Nestled in the South Devon landscape, working on the site of an old dairy farm, the paintings celebrate a reductionist form, loosely mapping forms with a limited palette in oils, celebrating the sublime landscape and expressing something that is often hard to express in words.
