Biography

Originally from England, Carolyn studied painting at Emily Carr Institute (under Landon Mackenzie) and The Art Students League of NYC (under Catherine Redmond). In 2000, she graduated from ECI recognized as a “...boundary buster...” by Vancouver Sun, Arts writer, Michael Scott. Along with continued in depth exploration into abstract painting, the following years have produced collaborations with Etienne Zack and Randy Lee Cutler. Carolyn is also known as the animator and film score composer for award winning experimental films and documentaries by Nina Rota. Screened in 34 countries worldwide, ‘Terminator Seed’ has won worldwide acclaim and ‘Luscious’, shown on Channel 4 in the UK, has received nods from film festival critics. While having a continuous interest in the relationship between sound and image, Carolyn has maintained a strong foundation and presence in painting, exhibiting in NYC, Los Angeles and Vancouver. In 2010, she was in residence in Lakehill, New York, with longtime mentor Henrietta Mantooth. ‘Groupings’ is her third exhibition at the Elliott Louis Gallery.

Carolyn lives and works in Vancouver, Canada.
