Carolyn
creates contemporary and original paint and stitch pictures. Taking her inspiration from nature and combining painting,
stitching, patching and layering she creates tactile and emotive art. Carolyn’s work is all hand made and produced to
a high standard, no two pictures are ever the same, making each piece an original piece of art.
She says “when I observe a beautiful
sunset or seascape or the intricate pattern of a tree’s bark or the wind rushing through a field of grass and poppies,
I always feel a powerful sense of escapism, a sense of belonging, a sense of a time gone before and a sense of humility and
perspective. These emotional and visual observations are what inspire me to create.”
In 1997 Carolyn completed a Fine Art (Hons)
degree at The Surrey Institute
of Art and Design and went on to complete a P.G.C.E at the Institute of Education
in London. In the following years her time was spent travelling
and working within various corporate companies, gaining valuable business knowledge. Finally in November 2004 Carolyn became
a full time artist.
She
says “My main aim is to evoke a thought or memory or simply entice people to interact with my pictures by wanting to
touch, investigate, look deeply and with each time observe something different or new.”
