Carol Rowe

CONTEMPORARY VISUAL ARTIST

As an artist I am provoked by the natural process of the environment; it’s beauty balanced by it’s destructive force and the wonder of regeneration in the timeless cycle of life.
The spirituality of the indigenous links with the land.
In my work I try to evoke an empathetic response concerned with time and space.

After a long career in the advertising industry, and teaching art and design, I work as an independent visual artist with my main focus being in painting and ceramics.

Travels though the vast spaces of the deep Saharan desert, and the Australian outback have given me the challenge to recreate the feeling of remote and empty space and the emotive qualities of being in unique moments of time.

I love deserts, and frequently travel into the desert regions of Central Australia, and have also travelled into the deep Saharan desert and the Sudan. I participate in a number of group shows and have held numerous solo shows. I have also been commissioned for portraiture. Presently I am working on a new body of work.
