Caroline Shotton...Artist
Caroline has been painting for as long as she can remember. She lived on the outskirts of London which meant she benefited from being within easy reach of London Galleries and open countryside, both of which were a source of immense inspiration to her. As an only child Caroline had the freedom to immerse herself in her work, she also received a great deal of encouragement and guidance from her Grandmother who raised her for which she will be eternally grateful.
Early influences came from the old masters,she was fascinated by their realism and throughout her school years strived perfection.
When studying at Central Saint Martins her eyes were opened to new ideas and techniques. She was captivated both by surrealism and impressionism and much of her work now combines elements from these eras.
After college she worked as a freelance artist in the commercial sector, undertaking bespoke commissions from businesses throughout the country, from large abstracts to intricate murals. Caroline enjoyed this as every project was different and she was often asked to produce styles and subject matter she would never have dreamt of had she been alone in her studio.
When her son was born she decided to concentrate on her gallery career. It has been lovely painting without a strict brief and her work has developed immeasurably, incorporating different aspects from her past commissions with the freedom to choose her own direction.
