Charlotte Schmid-Maybach is a visual artist working with photography, textile and assemblage. Originally from San Francisco, she has a BA from UC Berkeley in South Asian civilization and MA in Photojournalism from the University of Missouri, Columbia. Her background as an archaeological photographer in Pakistan and fifteen years as a newspaper photojournalist have informed her artwork. Charlotte started studying with artist Tom Wudl in 2016 and made the transition to a full-time studio practice. She received the Photolucida Critical Mass Top 50 photography award in 2021 and was an exhibitor in Klompching Gallery’s FRESH 2023. Charlotte is based in Southern California, and her work has been widely shown in galleries and museums. She is represented by Themes and Projects Gallery, San Francisco.
