What is an Enigmatic Surrealist?
Enigmatic Surrealism, describes Caroline’s work. People like to know what your art is about, why you paint it, what is your story, your journey? Enigmatic Surrealism describes how she is inspired and therefore constructs her images.
All artists struggle to describe their work. Particularly with surrealism it’s a mindset which only a few unique minds connect with and it’s very hard to describe how that connection is formed.
Caroline’s images are often stimulated by thoughts leading on from an event in her life or an image in nature. She is led by her by her minds eye. Nature, trees, flowers, sky, plants, all provide inspiration for her surrealist style paintings and drawings. Her creativity invents images that stretch the imagination and the bounds of straightforward vision.
The whole process is organic and her passion is to produce images honestly and from the heart. Her hopes? That she meets people who resonate with her emotions and enthusiasm. Visit her oil paintings
Why does she paint? It’s what makes her happiest. It is joy, therapy, hard work, and irresistible. If you have the creativity bug not using it is like telling a bee not to gather pollen. It must, to produce the honey. For Caroline, painting is her honey.
In March 2024 Caroline recently moved with her husband from her home of 15 years in Frome, Somerset to a new location in Pathlow, near Stratford-upon-Avon. A desire for a smaller house now her children have spread their wings, and a larger garden for her large dogs have stimulated the move with her husband. With a much larger garden she has been able to build a larger studio and looks forward to producing some brand new work to add to her already eclectic portfolio.
Caroline is a member of the Visual Artists Association and has a vast experience of exhibiting at both local and national exhibitions. She has also been involved with curating many successful exhibitions both small and large and is often consulted on an advisory basis. She has now joined Leamington Studio Artists and is thrilled that her work has been accepted into 2 of their latest exhibitions. With over 600 members and only around 80 pieces selected she feels honoured.
