Carolyn Rockwood

Carolyn grew up in rural Ayrshire. She went on to study drawing and painting in Italy and later took classes in the Art Institute of Chicago. Carolyn now lives in Perthshire where she paints full-time.

Carolyn's subjects include landscape and floral, and she finds much of her inspiration along the west coast of Scotland and the Outer Hebrides. Seasonal changes in the Scottish Landscape and weathered buildings suggest the working relationship of people with the land and sea are the subjects that excite her.

Her fascination with fabrics and materials has led to Carolyn developing a unique technique which often incorporates the use of collage to create interesting and varied surface textures and colour.
