Charlotte Hoffman
Painter: Pastel, Oil

Charlotte Hoffman is a landscape painter who paints primarily with pastels but also paints in oil.  Charlotte lives in the Mariposa area with her landscape photographer husband, David Hoffman and a menagerie of animals. 

Her landscape subjects include the central valley, foothills and mountains.  She also likes to paint ordinary objects from around the house.  Charlotte is drawn to the light, colors and textures of scenes.  The couple have participated in Sierra Art Trails since 2004.

While growing up Charlotte's family regularly moved to a new location (Air Force military brat). She grew up on 4 continents which gave her an awareness of changing light and landscape at an early age.  Perhaps the love of landscape is related to those early impressions in the far away places of Africa, England, USA's east coast, Turkey and Japan.
