Hello
Hello, I'm Carol. I was born and raised on the North East Coast of Scotland. Since I was a child I have loved art and creative pursuits. I have worked in a few different fields in life, legal secretary, support worker for SEN children and as an events co-ordinator and office manager in the third sector, but art has always been my passion, my happy place.
My Artistic Journey
Over the years, my creative journey has evolved from a deep focus on portraiture to a renewed passion for abstract art. Each piece I create is a reflection of human emotions, capturing stories and experiences that resonate with me. As I embraced my own healing journey from cPTSD, I found inspiration in nature and the more rugged environments that surrounded me, allowing those elements to influence my abstract creations. I rely strongly on my intuition when painting and the process for me is quite meditative. This transition back to abstract art has been a transformative experience, merging the intimate connections of the past with the boundless possibilities of the future.
I'm largely self taught but have studied under renowned abstract artists whose wisdom and insight has helped me hone my own process. You will usually find me in my home studio, wearing my favourite 20 year old dungarees, listening to my favourite playlist and transferring my feelings and emotions onto canvas.
