Carol has always loved drawing and as
a small child, as long as she had a pencil
and paper, she was happy. At school
she was encouraged to study more
academic subjects in order to get a
'proper job'. She spent years working
for an insurance company but always
painted in her spare time.
Twelve years ago, Carol took the
plunge and left her salaried employment
to become a self-employed artist. Her
preferred medium is pastel and she runs
workshops and courses in this medium
as well as demonstrating to art groups.
She was brought up in Wales and she
now lives in rural Wiltshire. Her
favourite subject is British Wildlife and
she loves painting animals but has
recently started producing paintings of
racing cyclists.
