Using famous paintings as a reference, The Missing Women Series shows how women are presented but not represented in art, society and history. Here is a rendition of Edouard Manet's Olympia with the women missing and their spaces adorned with candy wrapper jewelry. Manet was probably one of the first feminist painters to my mind, the public had a real problem accepting his depiction of women at the time. He contrasted the idealized nudes the public was used to with his version of Titian's Venus of Urbino. Manet's modernized version portrayed a very bold and identifiable fellow artist Victorine Meurent who exhibited her work at the prestigious Paris Salon. Her servant we only know for sure as Laure. .

Charters holds an MFA from Chelsea College of Art in London (UK) and a BFA (hons) degree from Cardiff, South Wales. She worked with the sculptor Andy Goldsworthy on site on two of his outdoor sculptures. He taught her to appreciate working with relevant materials and how to direct people's focus of attention in an image. As a student studying under the instruction of Graham Crowley and Amanda Faulkner, Charters studied various aspects of art history and feminism, researching imagery and language of materials in art. While tackling issues of feminism It occurred to her how extremely difficult it is to represent the female form from the female perspective. This problem is apparent in everyday life and has never been far from her mind, Charters travelled extensively as an animation professional. Her years in animation helped to hone her skills and work with layers. It was the combination of these life experiences and concerns for the world her family are learning to negotiate that culminated in her current body of work “The Missing Women Series.”
