The Artist
Carole loves to explore the woodland paths and nature’s surroundings for inspiration.
As a child she was brought up around the amazing countryside of the Cotswolds and Malvern Hills, where she studied fine art and design, to a high standard.
Thus growing up observing nature in all its forms everyday, and the fascination for animals and plants with many sounds and smells, breathing in the sites of the natural world.
She loved 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, animals and doodles!
With well over three decades of artistic experience, she has expertly developed her two passions, art and the natural world.
Throughout Carole’s journey, she has done many exhibitions, tutored workshops and demonstrated for leading art material manufactures, resulting in skills and knowledge to guide and help others.
She has also been able to develop her own unique personal style of combining a variety of techniques and mediums in both traditional and contemporary.
A style within nature that lies tantalisingly between reality and the imagined.
Her days, may start with a local walk, if nice and dry! And then a coffee and chat with friends.
This gives her a clear head to continue with any piece of artwork she has on her work table, whether it’s for her own collection or a commission for a client.
She’ll think about the encounters seen around her. loving anything that amuses and captivates her, to explore and experiment new pieces.
Working mostly with the beauty of watercolour, Carole seeks to capture the vibrancy, the merging colours of light, tranquility and ever changing beauty of the seasons.
She loves to paint, wild birds, animals and flowers and ventures every year, to add little bits of country life, that she finds magical.
All her paintings bring together the flora and fauna elements, full of emotion and memories with playful detail and charm.
