Charlotte Gardner
Owner & Creative Director
I’m Charlotte, I am the Creative Director for Viners on the Hill, Kings Hill and The Drawing Rooms Gallery and Venue in West Malling.
I paint or draw many of the cards and artworks that we sell in both locations, and I’m also the creator of most of the bespoke commissions for new cards and artworks.
I have been an artist for 30+ years and especially enjoy using watercolours and acrylics in an illustrative style.
I am very passionate about opening up creative opportunities for everyone to enjoy, since I believe absolutely EVERYONE has art abilities, despite the fact that many people claim to have none. I get told daily by our guests that they cannot draw a stick figure for example.
However Art provides both an expressive outlet and either time to relax in a relaxed meditative environment or a vibrant, uplifting one. We all benefit a great deal from this, and it’s sad that many do not allow themselves the opportunity because they believe they have no art ability. I have been delighted to have opened the creative doors for hundreds of people over the past few years, and our numerous workshops are all about doing just that! So please do come along and explore your own creativity with us!
