Early Inspiration
Charlotte's journey began in Garrison, NY, where the grand estates of the Gilded Age and the allure of forgotten treasures shaped her artistic sensibilities. From a young age, she accompanied her mother to auctions and estate sales, where she became enamored with collecting art and antiques. These experiences instilled in her a lifelong passion for repurposing vintage beauty with a romantic yet modern flair.

Artistic Roots
As a teenager, Charlotte received private instruction in oil painting from respected artists including Susan Geotz, Robert Schneider, Gary Fifer, and John Osborne. Her classical training, deeply rooted in the techniques of Old Masters like Rembrandt, Velázquez, and John Singer Sargent, gave her a strong foundation in drawing and painting. Through her teachers, whose lineage traced back to American Impressionist Frank DuMond, Charlotte inherited rare and refined methods of direct painting. By the age of 15, she was already exhibiting and selling her artwork in galleries.

She went on to study at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where she explored a range of mediums and deepened her knowledge of art history.

From Artist to Entrepreneur
After college, Charlotte continued to paint and teach, but her entrepreneurial spirit led her to real estate. At just 23, she became a licensed real estate agent, and by 24, she used the proceeds from her art sales to purchase and restore a rundown mixed-use building on Main Street in the then-emerging city of Beacon, NY. At 25, she launched her own real estate company, Gate House Realty, and became a leading figure in Beacon’s revitalization.

Among the properties she acquired was a 10-acre mountainside parcel that would become Lambs Hill—a stunning residence overlooking the Hudson River that Charlotte and her husband, Dennis Vetrano, Jr., built together. After marrying on the property, they transformed it into an intimate and romantic wedding venue inspired by nature and the timeless charm of the Gilded Age. Charlotte personally designed the venue’s structures, incorporating reclaimed materials like antique brick and 19th-century wood timbers for an authentic, rustic elegance. 

Lambs Hill Bridal & Design
In 2017, Charlotte and Dennis expanded their vision with the opening of Lambs Hill Bridal Boutique. Blending equestrian flair, natural elements, and vintage-inspired decor, the boutique reflects the spirit of the venue. Charlotte also created a series of large, monochromatic oil sketches of horses to reinforce the boutique’s equestrian aesthetic.

From this grew Charlotte’s bridal veil collection, with a special focus on equestrian-themed designs. Her veils are uniquely hand-sketched, with every detail—from bits and bridles to grasses and vines—carefully embroidered directly onto soft, luxe tulle. Each piece combines her love of horses with a romantic sensibility and fine art craftsmanship. Her designs are not limited to equestrian themes—Charlotte often draws from nature, vintage motifs, and personal inspirations to create timeless, one-of-a-kind veils.

Charlotte further brings her designs to life through home products such as pillows, mugs, bags, and coasters, where her artistic style continues to shine.

Personal Life & Creative Sharing
Charlotte and Dennis live in the Hudson Valley with their two children, Travis (b. 2015) and Cordelia (b. 2016). When she's not designing, painting, or leading her real estate team, Charlotte spends her time with her family and horses, always dreaming up new ideas. She shares her work, lifestyle, and creative endeavors as an internet personality and content creator, offering a window into the artistry and vision that define her world.
