About Caron


Caron is an artist who in recent years has focussed on watercolour as her favourite medium. She uses it with verve and confidence; her vivid colours and powerful brushwork communicate the intensity of her visual engagement with the world. She works from life, painting landscapes, portraits, the figure and of course flowers, with the same sure touch.

She exhibits regularly and has been an artist for all of her professional life, woven together with her teaching assignments.

Watching her paint is inspiring, as she places her luscious colours you feel yourself wanting to pick up the brush yourself, the direct way in which she works is easy to assimilate and she is open about sharing what she is doing.

Experience the joy of painting with watercolours, make new friends, and take home not just a piece of art but a piece of your newfound passion.

You can see her work here.
