Carol Douglas
Wed 3 May - Fri 30 Jun
Carol Douglas is a York based artist. She collected art throughout her life and in her late 60’s did an Art Foundation course at York Art College. This gave her the confidence to start painting and she won the York College Lifelong Student of the Year Award 2018. She is inspired by Outsider Art, Art Brut and Folk Art. Now aged seventy-one she has work in galleries in York, online galleries in London and is collected by interior designers and collectors. She paints in acrylic on canvas, detailing with oil pastel.
Becoming a painter was a natural extension of her interest in art, design, architecture and interiors. She has always responded strongly to colour and developed her own distinctive colour palette. Many of her themes were derived from the domestic setting but recently she has begun to paint figures, painting in a semi-abstract style.
