 Hi, I am Carol and I have been working as a professional artist for the past 6 years. Though I have drawn and painted all my life, it was only when my family had grown up that I found the time to turn my hobby into an occupation (if you can call it that), and put a portfolio together to exhibit and introduce people my work. I feel extremely grateful and humble that my artwork has had such a good response and I now have collectors both at home and abroad. Thank you for taking the time to look at my work.
I was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire where I still live and work. I had a love of drawing and painting from an early age, and thanks to the encouragement of my parents I was given the tools to experiment with a variety of mediums and given the inspiration from our visits to the beautiful Yorkshire countryside - where we would spend many a Sunday afternoon. My love of nature and art continued after leaving school, and I knew that was where I would like my future to lead. So at the age of 20 I trained as a Surface Pattern Designer and Colourist at Leeds College of Art and Design gaining a Btec HND. I later spent some time specialising in florals at Stockport College of Art and Design. After finishing my studies I decided I would put my artistic career on hold and raise a family. Which I successfully did and have now found the time again to paint in earnest, I found myself in the position to paint professionally 5 years ago. And since then my work has continued to grown in popularity, and I am delighted and honoured to find my work selling to collectors both home and abroad.
My artwork is contemporary semi-abstract and often incorporate (if not inspired by) landscape, nature and flowers. My floral paintings often include poppies, sunflowers and daisies - which have become the main focus of my creativity. I have always had a love of flowers, especially those growing wild and free on our beautiful British landscape - and to capture that spirit and beauty in a painting is what I strive and hopefully do achieve. I hope you agree.
I love to experiment with different textural techniques within my work to add depth and interest - and I use these techniques in most of my floral and landscapes pieces.
All my artwork is original and I use the finest quality acrylics and quality deep edge canvases. I take commissions both private and corporate and can work to your specific size requirement and colour scheme, should you require a bespoke piece of art. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further details about my artwork, or a quote for a commissioned piece. Artgallery rating
