Scarlett Woodman
​
Scarlett Woodman is a Kent based artist working from her home studio in Biddenden, Kent. She graduated from Camberwell college of Arts in 2017 with a BA in painting, and since has drawn inspiration from her surrounding landscape of the Kentish countryside. Her work explores and reflects upon our relationship with the natural world, utilising reclaimed construction materials and a range of both constructive and destructive processes, including painting, drawing, scratching and burning. Scarlett’s work aims to show the strength, beauty and resilience of nature, whilst also acknowledging it’s fragility. Recently, trees have become her most prominent subject, as she finds them the ultimate symbol of this balance between strength and fragility. Like anchors of time, they show the slow and steady growth of nature against the rush of human activity and development that they witness. In etching trailing branches across materials meant for construction, Scarlett softens their harsh surfaces, making these hard, heavy objects appear somehow delicate. 

Whilst studying, Scarlett exhibited regularly in London and has continued to do so since, at art fairs including the Grid, Southbank and Parralax, Chelsea. She has also exhibited widely in Kent and Sussex, most recently at the Cranbrook Art Show and with the Pure Arts Group in Battle.
