ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This work is part of a recent series called Light on Mood. Most of the pieces in this series were inspired by the landscape of the west of Ireland. LIGHT on MOOD A series of oil paintings exploring the theme of light and how it can affect our mood. Light has the power to lift us up or bring us down. In its presence, we feel warm and elated. Its absence can make us feel cold and insecure. Softly balanced, it has the power to offer us calm and contentment. Inspiration for this new series of abstract work comes from the West of Ireland where the beauty of the landscape is identified by the unique colour combinations and rich tonal values seen as rapid mood changes occur in the ever-changing light. The painting in this series are untitled. WHY UNTITLED? I want these paintings to appear abstract. Although I may have taken influence from various sources and landscapes there is no subject or context. For this reason, I have not titled these works. In this way, I hope the viewer can look at each piece singularly and have the freedom to reflect on how it makes them feel without being influenced by the title Caroline

I am a painter living and working in my own studio in County Cork, Ireland. Although I was born in London, UK, I have lived in Ireland most of my life apart from 2 years which I spent at Montserrat College of Art in Massachusetts. I worked as a mural painter for several years and spent much of my practice time studying the human figure and painting portraits. Over the last few years I have veered more towards a more abstract approach, often using landscape to understand light and colour. Mostly I work with oil paint on linen canvas, though sometimes in mixed media on board or paper.
