Carol Wynne Artist Statement
​
I have a vivid memory of my first successful painting. I was just 7 years old and drew colourful fantasy creatures of the sea with a biro and paint blocks. Unconsciously I was hooked but art was not allowed to become top of my priority list. So, I dreamt of becoming an artist “one day.”
On early retirement I began to follow my lifelong dream entering adult education courses. Becoming a mature student was a stimulating and challenging experience which culminated in gaining B A Hons 1st degree in Fine Art. My Degree show was mostly 3D photography, installations, video and collage based on my life and work experiences in the caring profession. Not a lot of painting! But so exciting!
Since graduating in 2009 I have concentrated on drawing, fine art printing, and paint in oils, acrylics, water colour, and pastels.
​
Artist that inspire me are Van Gogh, Kandinsky, Mattisse, Peter Doig, Howard Hodgkin, John Stezacker, Manray, Duchamp and Piccabia to name a few.
Abstraction with some realism allows my current fascination for colour and mark making to flow.
​
It’s a just so satisfying belong to this artistic community in “The Beautiful Vale of Clwyd.”
​
I sell my work as affordable art and am always so excited when my art finds a new home.
