Frequently asked questions.

Q: What kind of artwork does CLT Abstracts create?
A: CLT Abstracts specializes in vibrant, textured abstract art, often incorporating thoughtful layers. The work explores themes of mental health, social justice, climate change and nature. The work is inspired by the colours of the Cornish coast.

Q: Where can the artwork be seen or bought?
A: You can view the artist's work on their official website, www.cltabstracts.co.uk. The site features examples of new work and blog posts detailing the artist's process.

Q:Where is CLT_Abstracts based? A:Charlotte, aka CLT_Abstracts, is based in Truro, Cornwall, UK. She sells exclusively online and to UK residents only. There is an option to collect artwork in person or have work posted.

Q: Is the work available as prints?
A: Yes, in addition to original pieces on canvas, there are Limited Edition Prints. They are sold unframed, mounted, numbered, signed and wrapped. Postage is included in the price and you can choose your favourite on my website using the Main Menu - Original Collection - Limited Edition Prints. They are sold unframed due to the rising cost of packing & postage and CLT_Abstracts is determined to keep products affordable, arriving in good condition with a low carbon footprint.

Q: Do you sell framed prints?

A: CLT_Abstracts does not currently stock framed prints or framed canvases. However, there are some “Mini-Series” originals, available on paper, that are framed. Postage is included as standard. This is an affordable range and because they are smaller, postage isn’t more expensive due to the weight of the included frame.

Q: Can i get a discount at a local framers, once i receive my unframed artwork?

A: If you are local to Truro, in Cornwall, you can get 10% off a privately bought frame at ‘All About Frames Ltd’ by quoting ‘CLT_Abstracts.’ Ask for Lisa. If you would like me to organise this for you, drop me an email at Charlotte@cltabstracts.co.uk

If you live further afield, I am also happy to liase with your own local framers to agree a price and to help with travel costs. Drop me an email to discuss.
