Born in Germany, Verity attended the Slade School of Art from 1973 to 1977 and won a Slade prize in her final year.[1] In 1978 she was awarded a Boise travelling scholarship to study in Italy.[2][3] Since then, Verity has been a regular exhibitor in group shows including, John Moores Painting Prize, the Whitechapel Gallery Open, the Hayward Annual,[4] Discerning Eye[3] and the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition.[5] She has had solo exhibitions with Anne Berthoud Gallery[6] (1984, 1988, 1990) and Browse and Darby[7] (1998, 2002, 2007);[5] and more recently with Purdy Hicks, London[8] (2016), the Garden Museum,[9] London (2011 and 2018) and the New Art Centre,[9] Wiltshire (2019). In 2001, Verity began teaching at the Royal Drawing School in London where she remains on the faculty.[10] In 2010, she was commissioned by Sir John Soane’s Museum to paint a portrait of its former Director, Margaret Richardson.[11] A monograph on her work, Charlotte Verity, was published by Ridinghouse, in November 2016 with texts by artist Garry Fabian Miller, art historian Paul Hills[12] and artist Edmund de Waal.[13]
