Charli English
Charli English is a self taught artist based in Melbourne. She has been a creator her whole life, and after a two year break from all things art, she inherited oil paints from a passed relative in 2021.
Falling head first into research, she discovered many aspects of painting unnecessarily contribute to environmental damage. At this point she realised that she could be ethical about the way she produced art by buying second hand where possible, and giving life back into surface material that would otherwise be considered trash.
Half of English's paintings are made entirely of second-hand materials, while the other half focus on the natural beauty of the world. Charli says, 'Although I am still discovering my artistic identity, my works currently focus on sea and mountain scapes. I find great solace in painting the natural world, and I hope each of my paintings bring a small sense of that peace into peoples' homes.'
