CAROLINE MACKINTOSH

This month’s Arts Club focus is on Caroline Mackintosh, a largely self-taught landscape and semi-abstract artists, living and working in Suffolk.

Inspired by the Suffolk countryside and travels further afield, in particular the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Caroline is drawn to the dramatic lines and strong shapes formed by shifts in light in the landscape. It is this play of light that inspires her to paint. Her work acts as a visual diary, in particular of walks taken. Smaller works in mixed media are formed and they, along with memories, are developed into larger works, mainly in oil on canvas, enabling her to explore further colour, shape, texture and abstraction.

She is a member of Southwold Art Circle, Suffolk Open Studios and UK artists. Twice shortlisted for the Sir John Hurt Art Prize.

Head over to her website https://carolinemackintosh.co.uk to find out more.
