Carolyn b.1967 – With Love

McConnell (BA) Hons Fine Art) is an autistic artist.

In order to create the work for this exhibition, she has been collecting the shapes and colours from nature for over a year. The predominant shape in these paintings are based on the Horse Chestnut Tree leaf.

Using a tiny paintbrush, her oil colours are then mixed as close to the colours in her little black book as possible.

So far:

Holly and Ivy, Tamarisk leaf and flower, Lily, Agapanthus, Crocus, Daffodil, Lime tree, Berry, Lavender, peach (please see the back of each artwork).

The artists that have inspired her:

Frida Kahlo, Henri Rousseau, Georgia O’Keefe.
