Born in Llanelli, on the Atlantic coast of South Wales, Great Britain, Caroline feels right at home in Victoria. Interested in drawing from childhood, Caroline received a diploma in design from the Barrett St. College of Design in London, England. Pursuing her interest in art here in Victoria she has enjoyed numerous workshops and more recently has worked steadily to develop her own voice.
Elected to Associate Signature Status by the Federation of Canadian Artists in 2009 in recognition of her ability to capture and express her delight in the landscapes, figures and objects around her, Caroline continues to explore an impressionistic approach. Using a very limited palette she enjoys paying special attention to negative spaces, bringing excitement and a mystic quality to her work.
“I paint for joy. The light on this lovely west coast is always playing tricks on us and I try to capture this energy, and the mystery I see in nature’s brief tranquil spaces around me. With my exploration of blue pigment and of negative spaces I attempt to bring a surreal quality of light to my landscapes.”
