| Caroline was born in
England and went to the London School of Arts and Crafts to take her
diploma in Art and Design where she majored in sculpture. Most of her
work was abstract and quite large relating to the human figure. Later, whilst raising her family, Caroline lived in Saudi Arabia for nearly three years. Due to a limited supply of art materials, Caroline turned to making batik wall hangings depicting local architecture and people in the market place. Several trips to Nigeria enabled Caroline to bask in African art and look again at very strong direct sculpture and pottery with beautiful lines and balance. Back in England, Caroline explored ceramics making small hand built pots and built her own kiln. In 1991 Caroline immigrated to Sydney, Australia and again changed direction. Each new influence seemed to demand a new medium and here, Caroline returned to basics and resumed life drawing. She found a new medium and started painting in pastels absorbing the influences of the fragile Australian landscape and the diverse population of Sydney. Caroline now lives and works in Bundeena and is currently teaching at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery. Most of her work is in pastels both soft and oil. She sells work from home where her studio/gallery is open to visitors on the Art Trail and by request. |
