Carole seeks to express her creativity through her photographic work recently working on digital collages. She’s had a long association with art photography and presented a number of group and solo shows in the Blue Mountains over the last 10 years.
Awarded a Postgraduate Diploma in Visual Arts majoring in Photography in 1986 from Sydney College of the Arts, she was selected for the annual exhibition for emerging artists at The Performance Space in Surrey Hills. At the time her work was favourably reviewed by Christopher Allen in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Recently her portrait of ‘Peter and Thea’ was shortlisted for the Head On Portrait Prize exhibited at the Australian Centre for Photography (Sydney) earlier this year.
At the Springwood Art Show 2011 she was awarded the Portrait Prize for her image, ‘And She Saw the Vastness of Everything.’ This is an example of her new direction into digital collages.
Her next major solo show will be held in the UK at Déda Gallery, Derby opening on Friday 13th April and closing on 25th June, 2012. Her artwork is held in many private collections in the UK, USA, Europe and Australia.
Carole has been involved with many photographic exhibitions in Sydney, the Blue Mountains and England. A frequent contributor of articles on photography and the arts to various publications such as Eyeline, Photofile, Editions Review, Sydney Morning Herald and more recently The Blue Mountains Gazette.
Carole also wrote and took photos for the highly successful book ‘Artists Observed: Blue Mountains Artists Close Up’ published by UNSW Press, a project that took over three years to complete. This book sold out at the publisher. There are only a very limited number of books currently available from the artist herself. However, it is in over 30 libraries including the Blue Mountains, Hawksbury and the State library.
