Caroline Ireland

Having graduated in Ancient and Medieval History and Archaeology, Caroline worked as a researcher, writer and illustrator of reports on artefacts and pottery from excavations in the South West of England and East Anglia during the late 70s and 80s. Painting at that time was mostly a private activity, illustrating aspects of her inner visionary landscape.

In the late 80s, having turned to horticulture and garden design, her ideas about colour, shape and design began to emerge. Her time at Cambridge Art College acted as the catalyst to her desire to explore her own painting more fully. Thus began her explorations into colour, pattern and shape, which finally developed into the characteristic luminous images in watercolour and pastel.  Caroline currently lives and works in Dorset, England.

Charles Hallsworth

Another artist from Bridport – Charles Hallsworth, has a unique unique array of life and landscape drawings.  Working mainly in oils on canvas or sometimes board, charcoal on paper is used for the line drawings with some pastel.  I love this artists work especailly the line drawings, you can see he has paid much attention to the facial features and less to the hair, whilst in others more attention is in the detail.
