The Artist
Carole loves to explore the woodland paths and nature’s surroundings for inspiration.
As a child she lived around the amazing countryside of the Cotswolds and Malvern Hills, and grew up observing nature in all it’s forms everyday, and the fascination for animals and plants with many sounds and smells, breathing in the sites of the natural world.
She began collecting those little treasures around the countryside…fallen leaves, pinecones, feathers and sea shells from the coast, and aimed to emulate both the beauty and fragility in paintings, which always resulted in a sketchbook full of flowers, birds, gardens and little bits of country life.
With well over two decades of artistic experience, she has expertly developed her two passions, art and the natural world.
During this time, Carole has been able to develop her own unique personal style of combining a variety of techniques, both traditional and contemporary. A style within nature that lies tantalisingly between reality and the imagined.
Her day starts with either continuing with a piece of artwork or putting things together that she has encountered during the past days or weeks…flowers in gardens, birds and animals, anything that amuses and captivates her, to explore and experiment new pieces.
