Represented Artist

Carole King is a Newcastle born and now Northern Queensland based artist. She has been painting mangroves and their coastal environments in recent times as she has a great attachment to them.

Carole works with mixed media, often subtly incorporating magazine and newspaper clippings. In this way, she creates a dialogue concerning the impact that humans are having on our environment. Much of her work expresses her deep connection and respect for the environment. She sees trees as having personalities and human attributes and paints them with these characteristics in mind.

BIOGRAPHY

Carole was born in Newcastle (NSW) and has lived in Sydney, Melbourne, London and Italy. She now resides in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

Carole has a Diploma in Fine Art majoring in Colour & Design and Printmaking. Whilst living in London she had her first solo exhibition at the Court Gallery, Hampton Court.

Upon returning to Australia, Carole taught drawing and painting for Macquarie Community College, Sydney, tutored for The World Education Fellowship, Mittagong and completed a Diploma in Adult Education (Community) at University of Technology, Broadway Campus, Sydney. In 2007 she tutored in ‘Conversation English’ at Vaughan Town, Madrid.

Carole has been painting mangroves and their coastal environs in recent times and has a great attachment to them, for her trees have personalities and many human attributes like being bossy, clingy, flamboyant, tolerant and tenacious to name a few. Her favourite habitats for exploring mangrove communities are Nundah, Wynnum Mangrove Boardwalk, Jabiru Island and Currumbin Creek – all in Australia.
