Charlotte is a renowned nature and landscape photographer known for her mastery of "Intimate Landscapes" — small scenes from a big landscape. A native of Northern California, Charlotte earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, then cut her teeth in the advertising business as an art director in the 1990's. After that, she operated her own graphic design firm for 15 years before selling the business and diving headlong into the craft of photography. Over time, her style has evolved from a somewhat journalistic approach, to one that pays tribute to the natural world.
