Artist's Statement:
I have been painting for the last 25 years. I paint because I love using watercolours as it releases my impressions of what is going on in my life. Subject material comes straight out of my head onto the paper with a brush. All works are painted on high grade French Arche or Fabriano 350gsm art paper

Carol Reedman’s paintings are delicate impressions woven by brush and fortitude onto a colourful surface of speckled light. There is often the familiar shape of landscape juxtaposed with atmosphere and object. These painterly techniques balance each other delightfully within the confines of her canvas Click here to see more of Carol's art
