Charlotte was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, coming to Colorado in 1987. She earned a BA in Studio Arts & Art Education from CU, Boulder. In years past I’ve enjoyed working in watercolor, mask making and handmade paper. Since 1998 my artwork focus has been painting and sculpting with the assistance of my husband, Ben; together we work as Zink Metal Art.

Her statement "I offer a fluid, feminine sense of design and form to the metal, and Ben works as our solid fabricator and engineer. Sometimes I’ve sketched and reflected on the subject matter before I begin drawing on the metal, and other times I enjoy letting my unconscious guide the images, shapes and forms that emerge. Ben cuts most of our designs with a hand held plasma cutter, and we work together on our different finishes. Collaborating on sculpture designs, layouts, finishing, and installation has taught us both so very much about the art process and ourselves. We’re proud to have created an extensive body of work these many years; both small and large scale pieces in private and public collections worldwide."
