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 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 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 days usually starts with a local walk, if nice and dry! And maybe 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, as well as thinking about the new encounters seen during the her morning walks…birds and animals, anything that amuses and captivates her, to explore and experiment new pieces.
Working mostly in watercolour and mixed media, Carole seeks to capture the vibrancy, the merging colours of light, tranquility and ever changing beauty of our natural surroundings.
She loves to paint, wild birds, animals, flowers and landscapes, coastal scenery, old buildings, and any little bits of country life.
All her paintings bring together the flora and fauna elements, full of emotion and memories with playful detail and charm.
