Artist's statement:
Carol's subjects include landscapes, seascapes, flowers, fish, boats and the human form. A deep love of nature is reflected in colourful paintings and prints. The work evolves from observing and absorbing the natural world. Her work is held in private collections in the USA, Canada, Dubai, Germany, France, Switzerland, UK and Italy. In 2007a watercolour was purchased by Bushey Museum, Herts for their collection of work by local artists. Carol also sculpts in clay and produces figures for the home and garden.
