Welcome

 Hi,

I am Carole an artist living and working professionally in the beautiful Peak District. I love to paint the beauty on my doorstep and consider myself very fortunate to do what I do to earn a living. I originally set out to paint the Peak District one day at a time for a year..... that was a long time ago and I shall continue for as long as I am able.  The rugged wildness enticing me back over and over.

I never tire of the same places.

The light, weather and seasons bring a new beauty to capture each day.

Thank you for joining me by visiting my site I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed painting it.

To the right my best friend Caspar 

my greyhound who loves the area just as much !

​

Love your environment, nurture it, it was here long before we were and will be long after we are gone. 

It is not ours to keep, or destroy.

We are only visitors privileged to see and sense all around us. Take time to look... really look around you, hear and feel and sense the wonder that it the universe and the very teeny tiny part of it that we are.

​

It is this awareness that enlightens, that feeds our soul, be grateful always because our universe provides a richness that no materialism can ever provide.

​

Inspired by the rugged wild landscape of the moorland, the weather, light and atmosphere changing in moments my artwork is constantly exploring and evolving to create the mood and essence that attracted me to paint it in the first place. It is this See it...! Feel it... Paint it approach that has become my life.

​

Thank you for visiting my site. I hope you enjoy the journey ! 

Industrial art

Sometimes I like to challenge myself with other subjects that interest me. Especially the change of colours, textures and technical work. In this section you will find a range of work not for sale but for my own growth and experience in developing a structured and planned way of working.

Landscapes

Passionate about the local landscape and its ethereal rugged beauty I love to paint on location where I possibly can. It is this connection with nature and my art that gives me an opportunity to portray the scene through my eyes. I paint in a "See it, Feel it, Paint it" method that comes from within.

Intuitive art

Working intuitively, with no plan is extremely fulfilling and expressive. To be totally free and lost in the process and the journey as the art develops a life of its own. For me it frees my mind, feeds the soul, and re-balances the stress and worry that we are faced with in this fast-paced life. So, Take time out, Be still, Let go and lose yourself in the Zen like creativity and refuel.
