“I create works that emotionally engage people with the landscapes I experience, using various mediums. My drawings, prints and video works all share the same pared-back aesthetic.”
Carolyn’s work is often experimental, combining several mediums, including print, video, drawing, writing and installation. For many year the core subject of her practice has been the River Severn, particularly future flooding and its prospective impact on the local landscape. She has recently relocated to a tiny village looking out over the foothills of the Brecon Beacons, near Hay on Wye. 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.

Her works have been selected for several significant open calls, and her artworks hung in galleries, installed in non-gallery locations and at film events/festivals.
