Freedom Painting

Carolyn Hammond was born in Carmarthen, West Wales and is now living in rural Shropshire. Carolyn has always had an interest in art, with her current style emerging during a difficult period in her life. As a result, Carolyn has an interest in the therapeutic use of art both visually and in the practical sense. She uses watercolour and acrylics and is currently experimenting with other media. Carolyn works instinctively as she paints, with the overall image and shape emerging naturally. “Often I paint without any thought for an end point… I just paint each small portion at a time and work piece by piece, never really looking at the finished article. The excitement for me comes from others viewing the work and discussing the shapes and images that they see… this is made all the more powerful as they are purely unintentional and are an emerging property of the process of art. combined with the psychology of the viewer…” Carolyn Hammond.
