Carol-Ann Harrison

Nature in all its forms uplifts me and is the source of inspiration for my art.

Growing up on Sydney’s beautiful Northern Beaches I gained a deep love of the ocean, the beaches, the lakes, lagoons and the sea life they support. The ocean provides inspiration and solace. The ocean ‘calms my mind and soothes my soul’ providing healing and respite from the pressures of daily life. Through my paintings of the ocean with its many moods and colours as they change across the various times of the day I hope to share my love of the ocean and its soothing, rejuvenating benefits.

Whilst seascapes and coastal landscapes have been a feature of my work to date I am also aiming to combine figurative works with seascapes to pay tribute to the beauty of beach girls in their natural environment of the beach.

I have also always had a deep love and appreciation for flowers. The various forms, colours and their combinations are truly wonderful and give me joy.

They can be delicate as a rose, bold as a bird of paradise, strong as an orchid or fragrant as jasmine or gardenia but are all delightful. You will always find something blooming in my garden and cut flowers in my home. I am currently exploring the world of flowers and hope to show through my paintings the beauty of flowers.

My art continues to evolve!
