Is it Safe Now? Painting

Based in Frome, Modern Surrealist painter, Caroline Walsh-Waring has developed her own unique style through constant practice and allowing herself to be inspired by every day things. Her obsession for drawing as a child she carried through school, Art School, and work; finally undertaking further training whilst working in London and participating in courses in Europe. Encouraged to draw by a creative father who died when she was young, she was deterred by a practical mother and a need to support herself financially, resulting in initially turning her back on an artistic career. Continually drawn towards creativity later training confirmed what she needed to fulfil her life. Inspired by the landscape and the human condition. Her work resonates with echoes of past experiences, stimulating her distinctive thought processes to create utterly unique work. Oil on Canvas is her main medium; she also produces images with watercolour, pen and pencil as the mood takes her, resulting in a spontaneous variety of pieces. Caroline aims to emulate the smoothness and beauty of the great masters, painstakingly applying her paint in glazes to achieve a dreamlike translucent finish to her work worthy of any wall or gallery. She has completed many commissions, sells work on a regular basis and this year was included in the VAA International Online Exhibition Curators Choice Awards. She exhibits in several galleries and sells internationally and at art fairs. She is a finalist in the VAA Professional Artists Awards 2022.
