As a visual artist who’s style of painting is predominantly realistic the opportunity of painting these expressionistic, semi-abstract paintings is ‘Liberating’. These paintings are based on ‘Nature’, ‘Elements of Life’ & ‘Home Surroundings’. Painting with minimal colours & the use of texture brings these paintings to life.

With a passion for natural beauty Carol gets her inspiration from nature, adventure and travel. The world to her is an open canvas. For many years Oils was her preferred Medium, painting interpretational projects like portraits or land/sea scapes. In the past 3 years Carol has been exploring Abstract art painting with Acrylic, she found this experience liberating. The ability to create something from nothing is extraordinary.
Current Exhibition
The 5 Senses
at Claremont Artframers & Gallery runs until 19 March 2011
'Midnight' is dedicated to my brother Ian who recently lost his battle with Cancer. It was a deeply emotional time, I
remember peering into the late night skies during last few weeks of his life sending him strength and love.
This was the beginning of 'Midnight'.
When Ian passed away I wasn't entirely happy with the painting, I had experienced sheer ease and relief of Ian's ended suffering. I picked up my paint brush and started adding light and depth and the painting evolved.
Although Midnight appears dark in colour, the richness of deep blue, glimmer of silver and light shining through the darkness 'Midnight' is a painting that gives me a sense of inner peace, freedom & happiness
