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.
