She also confessed she only models and does social media so she can earn money to paint.

Discussing how she uses her social media to create her personal brand she explained: 'I do kind of use that to my advantage, as well. I use social media as a tool, and a little bit controversially, I use my sexuality as a tool to sell my art, but sex sells, I guess.

'It’s a part of me, I’m being authentic in the things that I post. I’m showing my process and dancing around the studio, because that’s actually what I do. But yeah, I am aware that it’s part of the interest- it’s not just my work, but the interest in the idea of this Charlotte Rose character.'

Talking about how she has used social media to help her art she explained: 'Early on, I hired a space in central London, curated a whole show, and sold it out, completely independently, and I was only able to do that because of social media.'

Her social media presence has brought her work to the attention of collectors such as Yungblud, Phoebe Waller-Bridge and BrewDog founder and CEO James Watt.

She has also merged both her modelling and artist career to work on campaigns forGucci, Missoma, and Korean fashion house Yuul Yie.
