Carol Ann Waldron, 1948 | Abstract painter

"As an artist I strive to paint what I “feel” rather than what I “see”. I want to touch the soul of the viewer and bring him along the pathway of my dream through an atmosphere of mystery and light.

Through the medium of paint, I endeavour to write the poetry of my soul on the canvas of life.

So whether it is a half forgotten street corner, a turbulent seascape or a peaceful landscape, I hope to capture the essence and spirit of the scene and lift the soul of the viewer" - Carol Ann Waldron.
