Watercolour Artists Gallery

Carol was born in Croydon, Surrey in 1965 and soon developed the desire to draw and paint on everything much to the dismay of her parents! During her teenage years she continued to develop her painting skills and finished with 'A' Level art qualifications a year earlier than expected. After leaving school she attended Croydon College of Art to complete a foundation course and then entered the Family business where she learnt the skilled trade of leather repairs. Carol continued for 17 years whilst still immersing herself in her passion to paint in her spare time and was delighted to win the Winsor and Newton award at Westminster Galleries at the first S.A.A exhibition. She was also selected by the Society of Wildlife Artists to exhibit at their annual exhibitions at the Mall Galleries in London.

When her Father retired Carol moved to Norfolk and became a self employed artist for several years, holding numerous exhibitions, teaching watercolour workshops and demonstrating for local art societies. Recently returning to Kent in 2007, so that she could live closer to her father, Carol has since fulfilled her ambition to have a beautiful art studio built so that she can continue with her love of painting.

A Note From Carol

"I am an artist who fell in love with the beauty of Nature. I seek to capture the soul and essence of a place and delight in the fine subleties of the English landscape. I particularly enjoy painting atmospheric light conditions and wildlife in their natural settings whilst also being strongly influenced by the Norfolk landscape with its big open skies and by my recent travels around cornwall, especially the coastal scenes which I find alluring and inspiring. I paint in watercolour for its ability to produce beautiful luminous washes and more recently in oils which allow me to paint with great depth of colour."
