Suffolk Coastline PaintingsCaroline works in and around the Suffolk coastline near Bawdsey.
Her studies include the ever changing sea, flowing estuaries, the threatened coastal buildings, sea kale, sailing boats, shingle and groynes. |
"I take my painting kit out in most weathers and have to fight the elements, the tides and the wind to paint my subjects. I go out many times at the same time of day on each occasion to capture similar light."

Suffolk Tree PaintingsCaroline captures the individual personalities of Suffolk trees in the unique light of each season.
Survivors of at times brutal weather conditions there is something vulnerable about these coastal guardians that help to bind the battered shoreline together. |
"I love painting trees along the eroding coast line of Suffolk,
there are still a few beautiful pines left."
