Carol Ann Taylor -  a BIO

Hello

I am Carol Ann Taylor, artist, now living and painting in North Norfolk having moved from my long time home in West Surrey about five years ago.

I continue to paint in an impressionist style inspired by the delightful land and sea-scapes all around me in Norfolk.

The lovely greens in the deciduous woodlands, fresh undulating landscapes, the open blue skies reflecting across salt marshes and the turbulent blue greys of the North Sea waves as they pound the shoreline; All inspire me to capture their beauty. Not forgetting Norfolk's unique cliff views with swooping seabirds, sometimes tempered by the calm sparkling seas of summertime. All delight and an inspiration to my passion for painting.

This passion for painting has evolved over many years. During teacher training at Roehampton, I studied art as a special subject. From there my career as a teacher and artist grew. Teaching in primary education in west Surrey, I enjoyed every opportunity to teach art and craftwork skills to children in class. Later, when teaching part-time, I began to enhance my artistic skills and develop my own impressionistic style and technique using acrylics, pastel, charcoal and sometimes oil mediums.

I have always loved the challenge of capturing the movement and energy of equestrian subjects. Wild horses and race horses feature in many of my paintings through which I have exhibited several times as a Friend of the Society of Equestrian Artists and demonstrated equestrian drawing at Ascot Race Course.

As an active exhibiting member of several art societies in West Surrey and also a founder member of West Surrey Artists, I have won several awards from these societies.

My paintings have been exhibited at many venues throughout West Surrey... as examples - Denbies Wine Estate, Dorking - the 1215 Art Gallery Runnymede - the Lightbox, Woking - the James Hockey galleries at University of Arts Farnham, and also in London where I exhibited at the Mall Galleries with the Society of Women Artists.

And so, to Sheringham in North Norfolk, where I continue painting at my home studio and also as a member of several local art groups. Here I have showcased my paintings at several places; In Sheringham, Cromer, East Runton, my Home studio with North Norfolk Open Studios, at the Creative Sheringham Festival and 'Showcasing Artists' at Bodham.

My modestly priced paintings will provide a fantastic way to enhance and complement your home and decor. An additional splash of colour for sitting room or reception, entrance hall, maybe a stairway or a complement the soft furnishings for the bedroom or study to help with those contemplative moments.
