About

I’m Charlotte Thompson, a creative illustrator and digital artist based in Ivybridge, Devon. I run CharlieTeaArt where I create and sell original art prints, produce bespoke commissioned artwork (including portrait and pet portrait work), and bring ideas through from concept to finished piece—then support it with promotion and delivery. I’m also passionate about organising creative events across Devon, such as Sip & Paint, and collaborating with local cafés and businesses.

Alongside illustration, I create social media content for CharlieTeaArt and Freddie’s Coffee Shop, including short-form videos, photography, graphics, and trend-led Reels. With a BA (Hons) in Illustration and experience in customer-facing roles, I’m confident working with briefs, adapting to different styles, communicating clearly with clients, and taking projects from planning through to execution with a friendly, energetic approach.
