Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Carole spent many happy hours playing in the local native bush and beach. These experiences and travel were the foundation for a love of nature and diverse subjects.

After retiring to the Sunshine Coast Carole followed in the footsteps of her Grandfather and Mother by taking up painting. This soon became a life-blood and Carole spent many years attending workshops and understudying with talented professional artists. This included three years of intense private training with one of the artists from the respected Top Ten Australian Artists. In 2008, Carole held three successful solo exhibitions. In 2009/2010 along with two other artists Carole ran a gallery in Noosa which helped to give an understanding of art not only from the artists point of view but from a gallery administrative/sale viewpoint.

Carole continues to create some outstanding pieces of art with skilled brushwork, great compositions, beautiful use and understanding of colour, and the ability to produce paintings that are different and enjoyable to visually explore. Carole says, “To paint is the most exciting journey an artist can take on canvas. Colours alone are exhilarating and energize me. My desire is that people will enjoy my art and experience what I did when applying the paint to canvas. It is a privilege to participate in art which is an added dimension to what the eye can see – ART IS WHAT THE HEART FEELS”.
