Artist Caroline Kinley

I have always had an interest in art and a good painting always leaves me wanting to reproduce its techniques and finish. I try to work out how it was done, and what works well about it. I studied art at GCSE and A-level and have had some pieces exhibited in Sheffield and Derby art exhibitions. After this I went to University and took a different direction in the form of a career in Industry as a commercial manager, but art has always been in my thoughts. I have now decided to devote my time to my paintings and pursue my first love. I have since exhibited in the Sheffield and St Albans art exhibitions and was awarded the Equestrian prize at St albans for "The Last Chukka" I am inspired by Leonardo Da Vinci for his thought processes and enquiring mind as much as his art, Degas' ballet work appeals to my romantic side, and some of Salvador Dali's work such as the 'Persistence of Memory' and the 'Metamorphosis of Narcissus' I like because they are much deeper than just a painting, the drama of Millais' 'Ophelia' is fantastic, and Magritte's 'Window' is very clever. Also contemporary works by wildlife artist Pollyanna Pickering inspire me because she has become a very popular artist setting herself up from an unknown.
