Caroline spends most mornings in her local Cotswolds countryside looking for inspiration to take back to her home studio and turn into beautiful watercolour paintings.

Having painted from the age of 3 years old when her parents gave her an Artist board, Caroline has always been drawn back to art. So after a 20 year Marketing career, she decided to pursue her passion full time.

 

As a language student, Caroline studied Art in Aix-en-Provence where her passion for Art grew even more. She was heavily influenced by local French artists alongside great impressionists like Cezanne, who was born and died in Aix, as well as Van Gogh and Gaugin who both spent time in the neighbouring town of Arles.

 

However, it was really when she was diagnosed with M.E in her mid twenties that she knew she could make a career out of her Art after her paintings earned her a small income. It gave her the confidence she needed as well as hope that all was not lost after being forced to leave her job.

During this period, Caroline was house-bound and lent on her Art for mental stability. Painting was something she could control and achieve when the capacity of doing many normal activities had been taken away from her. Painting landscapes enabled her to soak up her natural environment, a huge tonic in itself, whilst undertaking an activity in her own time. Caroline quickly realised that painting gave her a huge sense of fulfilment and she desperately wanted to pursue her passion as a career.  

​

Art is also in her blood. Her Aunt defied her parents wishes by choosing Art as a career and became very successful painter, ceramist and teacher of both, whilst simultaneously raising her 3 children, one of whom is a portrait artist. Only recently, Caroline discovered a pencil drawing by her Great Aunt painted at the early age of 13 years and of dogs no less, one of Caroline's favourite subjects. 

 

Now a full time artist and mother too, Caroline paints series of wildlife whilst also working on commissions of her surrounding natural environment and some man-made beauties like the stunning Cotswolds buildings and homes.
