Carolyn Coles


Painting atmospheric and impressionistic seascapes, Carolyn uses a limited palette giving her work identity and simplicity. She paints mostly on bespoke canvasses in oils using palette knives and flat brushes.

Carolyn's artistic education began with studying General Art and Design at York College, then specialising in Illustration at Hereford College of Art and Design, gaining distinctions and awards for end of year work.

Carolyn's career moved towards marketing, promoting art and craft materials, and then, after graphics through advertising and journalism as a designer/illustrator. She now devotes most of her time to painting, exhibiting and selling work internationally.
