Caroline's subversive and humorous portraits combine time honoured techniques with postmodern sensibilities. Playing with the notion of traditional portraiture, her striking paintings juxtapose the classic with the contemporary.

The cropping and scale often give a challenging edge to Caroline’s work, whilst the delicate and detailed rendering captures each idiosyncrasy of the sitter.

Her recent focus on flamboyant costumes, and use of ostentatious decoration, infuse her work with a sense of grandeur punctuated with elements of kitsch and theatricality.

Caroline's technical aptitude and thought-provoking imagery, combine to produce memorable and imaginative characters.

Caroline will be having her first solo exhibition at the Clwyd Theatr Cymru, Mold, in the Oriel Gallery from 4th September to 16th October 2010. Visit the Clwyd Theatr Cymru website for more information.
