Carolyn creates works which depict her emotional response to the landscapes she experiences. Her drawings, prints and video works all share the same pared-back aesthetic. Her work is playful and experimental, celebrating the accidental and incidental, pushing materials in different directions. Her works have been selected for several significant exhibitions and her artworks hung in galleries, installed in non-gallery locations and presented at film events/festivals.  For many years, the core subject of her practice has been the River Severn, particularly future flooding and its prospective impact on the local landscape. Having recently relocated to a tiny village looking out over the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, her work is, inevitably, changing direction. She now has a new muse – a ‘bog’ at the bottom of her garden. Not a true bog, more of an overflow temporary lake, similar to a ‘turlough’ found in Ireland.
