Carole studied art at St Albans School
of Art and Leicester College of Art &
Design before following a successful
career as a commercial artist running
her own design business for 30 years.
She returned to her first love of
painting, quickly gaining a reputation
for her sensitive and timeless portraits.
Her subjects have included members
of the royal family, celebrities and
leading public figures. Amongst several
TV appearances Carole took part in
the BBC's 'The Big Event' which
featured a giant reproduction of John
Constable's "The Hay Wain". In June
2014 she was honoured to have her
painting of Sir Charles Bean, retiring
Deputy Governor of the Bank of
England, chosen as his official portait
to hang in the Bank of England.
