About Caroline Tatham Art

A Mother/Daughter Duo

Caroline Tatham

Artist, lecturer and designer.

Caroline is passionate about observing nature to create fanciful, naïve, and imaginative landscapes and still life paintings. Creativity is at the heart of everything she does.

She studied at The Royal College of Art and has taught at a range of colleges and art schools, including Central Saint Martins School of Art in London.

Caroline is a qualified lecturer, with 30+ years of teaching experience under her belt. She’s loved running the Cotswold Gardening School since 2010. Caroline specialises in teaching creative design to a professional standard for those with no previous experience, helping them achieve results they never imagined possible.

Emma Tatham

Caroline’s daughter and business partner.

Marketing, social media and communications manager.

Emma is also the brand manager, photographer, videographer and editor for Caroline Tatham Art, when she is not creating her own art, such as her beautiful ceramics and creative short videos. She is very involved in the artistic direction and the business aspects of the brand, as well as being a natural teacher. Emma really enjoys assisting Caroline's tutoring during the in-person courses, with top tips and practical support as well as on-going feedback.

Together

We are currently exhibiting over 80 pieces at the WWT Slimbridge exhibition, after our successful exhibition in 2024 where we exhibited over 30 artworks. For both exhibitions, 35% of all proceeds go to the WWT charity. Plus, we are proud to be displaying artwork permanently in the WWT Slimbridge shepherds huts.

We are thrilled to have been commissioned by Woodmansterne Publishing for a freestanding art advent calendar and a pack of 5 charity cards, this Christmas.

We are excited for our 3-month upcoming exhibition with Leaf and Ground this Winter, alongside a fun day course in their grounds.

We were proud to have had our artwork featured on the cover of the Country Life magazine in 2023 for their Christmas double issue.

Our Beautiful Setting

The Tatham family live in a 17th-century historic house and 9-acre organic garden, designed by Caroline, which is also home to their 3 friendly dogs: Milo (chihuahua), Lottie (jack russell-chihuahua cross) and Maisy (golden retriever).

Caroline's garden is at the core of everything that she creates. As a practising garden designer and educator, she has developed her own garden over the past 15 years. It makes a wonderful setting for in-person art courses and provides an ever-changing source of natural inspiration and creativity in her own artwork, as well as inspiring creatives globally with the Fun-Sized Art School initiative, where the subject of regular art demonstration videos is inspired by the English garden.
