Caroline started painting full time in 2020 and has recently completed a Diploma in Classical Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh Atelier of Fine Art.
“I have always loved working with my hands, drawing and ‘making’ since childhood; and for many years, enjoyed a ‘hands-on’, very practical career as an orthodontist.
Studying at EAFA has been my first experience of formal art training. It has been instrumental in my transition to full-time artist and continues to inform my work.
I combine traditional techniques with contemporary themes and pigments to create chromatic, classically-inspired oil paintings. Each of my paintings is a careful exploration of composition, colour and form.
Objects within a still life composition are more deeply observed than we manage in everyday life and I enjoy playing with the idea of 'value,' reinterpreting the mundane or overlooked - illuminating familiar objects in new light.
Though loosely realistic, I hope my work retains some ambiguity - allowing viewers to engage on different levels.
I am continuing to learn so much from each one of my paintings - I hope you enjoy them.”
