Charlotte von Szczepanski
Designer Painter Maker WriterShe/Her
Charlotte completed her BA in Theatre Design at Wimbledon College of Art in June 2020. Her work incorporates many skills and specialities including, but not limited to, sculpture and painting (from a background in fine art) to drawing, sewing, and carpentry, as well as welding and film-making. For Charlotte these disciplines often culminate in her theatre practice, including her lifelong passion for illustration. She has also worked in film and festival production. Charlotte’s practice focuses on creating work with and for stories, with an aim to explore the absurdity and magic that is present in the everyday through sensory experiences.
She lives and works in London.
Charlotte von Szczepanski is pronounced Shahr-law-tə fon Shae-pan-ski.
