About the artist

Caroline regards herself as a self taught artist, although she has had many years of practice. She comes from an artistic family, received her first set of 'grown up' watercolours at the age of 12, sold her first painting at 14 and has never looked back since.

Living and working in Glencoe, Caroline draws inspiration from the stunning backdrop of magnificent scenery right on her doorstep.

Although currently favouring pastels as her medium, Caroline also enjoys working in mixed media and watercolours. Her aim is to capture the vibrancy of colour and intricate details in the landscape as well as convey to the viewer, the light, atmosphere, mood and dynamism of the mountains, glens and shores of this beautiful part of the world.

Glencoe Studio Gallery

Originally located at Tighphuirt overlooking Loch Leven, the gallery has now moved to the old road between Glencoe Village and Clachaig Inn. Family committments mean that the gallery does not operate on regular opening hours at present.

However, Caroline has recently had a selection of her work published by Edinburgh Arts, and this is available through a variety of retail outlets, including Crafts & Things in Glencoe.

For 2007, Caroline is also holding an exhibition of her work at the National Trust for Scotland Visitor Centre, Glencoe. The exhibition will run for throughout July and is an ideal opportunity to catch Caroline's latest work.
