Welcome to the world through my eyes

Manchester Based Fine Art

I'm Carol Anne, a contemporary artist from the North West. My work has shown from the Manchester Printworks to a gallery in Rome, with exhibitions and commissions across the UK and Europe. Each piece is an original, made with heart and soul.

Heart & Soul in every brushstroke

I've always seen the world in pictures. It started in childhood, watching and sketching everything around me.

I paint in a contemporary style, using various techniques, but above all my work reflects my heart and soul. Each painting is a jigsaw puzzle of ideas and images that come together as one.

I put my feelings into every piece, I like them to feel current, and I work across oil, acrylic, watercolour and pastel.

My Paintings & Prints

My paintings are created in oil, acrylic, watercolour and pastel, each one an original made by hand and never repeated. A selection of works is also offered as fine-art prints, so there's a way to own the work at every scale.
