CHARLOTTE COE: ARTIST & FOUNDER OF COE ARTS COLLECTIVE

Charlotte Coe is an artist, designer and event marketing expert turned full-time creative force. After graduating with a BA( Hons) in Graphic Media and Art from the University for the Creative Arts, she spent 15 years building a successful career from graphic designer to creative director. In 2023, she made the bold- and longawaited- decision to step away from the corporate world and fully embrace life as an artist. She hasn’ t looked back since.

Now based in Kent, Charlotte creates original artworks, limited edition prints and bespoke commissions, alongside hosting exhibitions that bring art and community together. Her shows have quickly gained momentum, with sellout events and a growing collector base.
She is also the founder of Coe Arts Collective, a curatorial platform dedicated to showcasing diverse artistic talent across the region. Representing disciplines from painting and ceramics to jewellery and woodwork, the collective is rooted in accessibility, collaboration and celebrating creativity in all its forms.
The 2026 programme launches with the Summer Art Fair at Bradbourne House, East Malling( 13-14 June), featuring 30 selected artists, live jazz and a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere in a historic setting. This is followed by the 2nd Annual Autumn Art Exhibition at Mereworth Wines from 16-27 September, where visitors can experience a thoughtfully curated collection set against the backdrop of a stunning vineyard and all that the winery has to offer to make it a very enjoyable day out.
Through her work and the collective, Charlotte is on a mission to support artists at every stage of their journey while making contemporary art engaging, approachable and a little bit irresistible.
