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 over two decades of artistic experience, she has expertly developed her two passions, art and the natural world.
Carole developed a 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.
She paints and designs from her Devon cottage studio, nestled in an ancient wooded valley, on the edge of Exmoor National Park.
This beautiful countryside inspires and captivates her, to explore and experiment new pieces.
” Every delicate brushstroke and pencil, is to celebrate the Wild & Beautiful of the natural world. “
Carole has deep concerns for the decline in the natural world, and exhibits with many wildlife art society’s, charities and foundations, as well as donating some of her paintings to conservation for nature awareness, in an effort to help the decline in the world’s wildlife.
