Caroline McAslan loves to do a huge variety of art and craft work. As well as experimenting with iPad paintings in pastel and watercolour, she loves working in acrylics, pen and ink and oils. Caroline is always busy sewing or knitting to create Christmas crafts and make cards for sale. Drawing inspiration from wildlife and nature is where her focus lies. Above all creating colourful works in many different mediums is what motivates her most.

I have no formal art qualifications, just a passion for drawing and painting, which started early in 2025 after attending a community art class. I enjoy creating illustrations in pen and watercolour and painting colourful landscapes inspired by country walks and travelling.

Now I have retired, I have enjoyed returning to drawing, watercolour and acrylics. I have attended approximately 15 classes in the last 3 years and enjoy crafting too.

I have picked up drawing and painting for the last 3 years and during that time I came to realise how much I love creating. Having spent many years in education, teaching - I have recently sent myself back to school and am in the midst of completing a Foundation Art Diploma at the Art Academy London and am eventually planning on pursuing a BA in Fine Art. During my time at art school, I have enjoyed exploring and working with many different mediums from word, clay, moving image and painting, I have spent my time making installations and moving image works as well as painting and drawing. I particularly love the immediacy of working with charcoal and at this early stage in my journey - I expect I will continue to explore both landscape and figurative subjects which I find equally wonderful.
