Charlotte Niel is a self-taught photographer and multi-media artist whose work focuses on themes of identity, memory and loss. She has explored what it means to grow old in America and the importance of purpose, relationships and memories to remain vital. With a degree in History, she is interested in the role of art and images in representation and interpretation of the past, their relationship to the present and how memory informs both.  As an avid outdoor enthusiast, she is also concerned about the impact of climate change on how and where we live.                  

Charlotte began her photography journey with black and white film and later embraced digital photography. She is now mixing both mediums and is pushing new boundaries by incorporating fabric, embroidery, encaustic and collage into her practice.
