Carol is a self taught artist whose work is influenced by the Art Nouveau
era and the Dutch artist M. C. Escher. Art Nouveau was mainly based on
nature with natural shapes and forms. Escher also based a lot of his art
on nature but used distortion, fantasy and metamorphosis to produce his outstanding work.
Carol works in coloured pencil, pastels or a combination of both as well as black and white
drawing. The foundation
for her work is nature
with slight variations
so anything different or
unusual appeals to her,
hence the name for her
work “Natural Fantasy”.
