Charlotte Ashenden
Artist Summary
Charlotte is a Coptic Christian. She lives in the beautiful city of Norwich in the UK, and she has been painting portraits of people, animals and houses professionally for many years.
"...I absolutely love it, but there was a growing need to paint images inspired by my Christian faith.
An artist will always want to paint the object of their love and in my case, this was Jesus! And I gradually added other wonderful characters in God's word.
I also design a range of Christmas and greeting cards; primarily the former as there seemed a big gap in the UK market for beautiful, modern Christmas cards that were not secular but fully Christian, honoring Jesus.
They sell very well simply via Etsy and social media which gives me huge pleasure; soon I hope to see them in the shops!"
