Based in Queensland, Australia and inspired by nature, Carolyn says,
"We have such lovely flora in this part of
the world. Picking up leaves at the beach is a favourite family pastime of
ours. They make particularly good sandcastle adornments.
One evening while stopping for a quick swim I was
greeted by a wonderful sandcastle. The beach was empty. The small formation was
a simple mound covered in round brown leaves. It caught the setting sunlight
and glowed gold. Glorious. Thus, these were inspired."
She uses precious and non-precious
materials, and particularly the Japanese alloys shibuichi (silver and copper)
and shakudo (gold and copper), in combination with silver, gold, copper, platinum and
gemstones. Carolyn is a true artist taking time and great patience to achieve
these colours.
