Caroline Simmill is an established professional artist, born in Surrey, based in the Highlands completing art courses at Reigate School of Art in Surrey, and later achieving further qualifications in Creative and Commercial Art,
As a land and seascape artist, specialising in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland Caroline works in oil and watercolour media.
Dark stormy skies, a play of light on the sea, all are an endless source of fascination and inspiration to her. Whether exploring the shoreline as dusk fell or witnessing a new day dawning, walking and sketching in these sometimes remote and wild areas has proved to be very challenging.
The whole experience of being in a very isolated location made the drama of the subject all the more powerful and exciting to work from. Visual memory and drawing in charcoal directly from the subject are all part of the creative process.
The oil painting is later developed in the peaceful and rural location of her studio in Moray.
Caroline's work is exhibited in galleries throughout the north of Scotland and her paintings can be found in collections in the United Kingdom and abroad.
