About the Artist

About Charmaine

Charmaine Boyle (b.1976)

I am a self-taught, full-time artist working primarily in oils, with a focus on botanicals and florals. My paintings celebrate the elegance, resilience, and vibrancy of the natural world, inviting viewers to pause and reconnect with the quiet beauty that often goes unnoticed.

Each piece begins with an admiration of the intricate details of petals, stems, and leaves, and evolves into an exploration of colour, light, and emotion. I am drawn to the way flowers can embody both fragility and strength, softness and boldness – qualities I seek to capture on canvas.

For me, painting is both a personal meditation and a form of storytelling. My florals are not simply depictions of nature, but expressions of individuality, growth, and presence. Through oil paint, I aim to create works that feels alive, offering a moment of stillness, wonder, and reflection.

Originally from Zimbabwe, I lived in South Africa until my mid-twenties and then moved to Glasgow, Scotland. The beauty of these different places has nurtured my senses and continually forms part of the inspiration I draw from.

My work has been shown in London, Mall Galleries, and in exhibitions across the UK and Scotland.
