MEET CAROLINE MARWOOD

I am a fine art painter, printmaker and mixed media artist. I also create original digital paintings.
I occasionally create raku fired ceramics.

My studio is in my garden at Bowl Rock just outside St Ives, Cornwall.

I create a wide variety of work inspired by the Cornish landscape and the flora and fauna which make this place so special.

I regularly run workshops in both printmaking and painting both privately in my garden studio and in various other locations with my artist friend Kerry Grant as Cornwall Art Workshops.

I am a member of the St Ives Arts Club and the Porthmeor Print Studio.

I regularly exhibit in West Penwith galleries and I sell my work online and through The Saltings Gallery.

OIL AND COLD WAX AND ENCAUSTIC ART

Using found objects and natural earth pigments to create responsive artworks

I create representational and abstract work using the medium of oil paint mixed with cold wax. This allows me to create layers and textures not possible with paint alone. My works is very much focussed on the landscape around me and the beauty of my garden. 
I have recently embarked on a series of encaustic paintings. This ancient fiery process allows me to connect with the landscape and embed found objects into my work.

PRINTMAKING

Collagraph, Linocut, Monoprints, Etching

I love all kinds of printmaking and particularly enjoy making my own inks. These include oak gall inks and pigments made from locally sourced stones and other natural materials.

RAKU FIRED CERAMICS

Pit friring, smoke firing, glaze firing

I was introduced to Raku-fired ceramics about three years ago and became immediately hooked. It is such a dynamic and relatively unpredictable firing method which makes it exciting and immediate. It's also a bit like printmaking in that although you plan what you want to achieve, each piece is completely unique. I use glazes on many pieces but the magic that I really love is the result of natural pit, smoke and saggar firings. During these processes amazing colours can be created using natural materials such as eggshells, copper, seaweed and banana skins to name just a few. Additional marks can be made with the addition horsehair and feathers at the red hot stage. Every year I make a batch of baubles and although I sell them at Christmas, they make excellent year round decorations.
