Carin is a visual artist, born and raised in England, now living in Melbourne Australia. She is most widely known for her bold dynamic watercolours of our natural world. She also works with graphite and pastels and writes poetry.
Her work has been licensed for Christmas cards and has attracted international awards. She has a strong commissions-following, exhibits regularly and sells internationally.
Her paintings are as diverse in style and subject as nature itself. Realistic, impressionist or abstract, they communicate our world through watercolour – ranging from the land, sky, sea, animals and insects to people and communities.
Carin raises community awareness of important subjects through her art. She says “Art can be a powerful means of communication like no other”. To date, sales of her paintings have raised $14,000 to support programs for refugees and people seeking asylum and victims and survivors of domestic violence. Carin has also raised awareness of marginalised Australian Indigenous communities and traditional land management practices through her paintings.

Have been with gallery247 for 6 years, both free and now paid. Wonderful on line platform for artists which has made my work easy to find and i don't need to worry about setting up my own website; they even forwarded a message from a community college i volunteered for a few years ago, for an art tutor.

I have recently become a member of Gallery 247 as an artist, and am so impressed. Communication was quick and very personable. The website seems very user friendly. With the couple of questions I emailed I was looked after with a phone call and very kindly and professionally looked after. Highly recommend.
