She creates high contrast, bold color schemes, and wonky perspectives to capture moments of her escapades. Charlotte started painting and drawing from a young age, with an igniting interest in storytelling through her art. She attended Chapman University in Orange, California and received a BFA in Studio Art in 2019. She currently lives in San Francisco and works as a children’s art teacher at a studio in San Mateo.

Join us, May 18th 7PM-9PM for the opening reception of “Calliopede” by Auberi Zwickel @_strange_chalices_ @themillsf : 736 Divisadero St, San Francisco, CA.    Auberi Zwickel is a Los Angeles, CA-based visual artist and tattooer. They are passionate about drawing as a secret language, ritual practice, and form of deep play. Their current practice spans fine art, illustration, tattoos, collage, and zine-making, but everything they do is rooted in a simple practice of sitting at a table and drawing with a pen. Their highly stylized work draws influence from every corner of art history, from folk art environments to grindcore records, children’s drawings, and the natural world. Their meandering, improvised work imagines an otherworld full of magical insect-plant-hybrid women, tree-whispering magicians, mischievous horny witches, telepathic plants, and ghostly spirits who glitch in and out of this dimension to assist in an endless cycle of creation, destruction, and regeneration. Calliopede showcases a selection of drawings made between 2021 and 2025. All of the drawings in this exhibition dated 2023 or earlier were created for Zwickel’s 2023 solo exhibition Worm Eats Bird / Bird Eats Worm — a body of work that began as an exploration of grief and ended as a celebration of life cycles and transformation. In some of these drawings, wormlike creatures and other insects celebrate rot with a lively carnival. In others, dense, labor-intensive altar spaces honor loved ones who have passed. curated by Maddi Minicozzi @inconsistentswag_
