Carol Ann Waldron Art for Sale and Sold Prices

b. 1948 -

Carol Ann Waldron was born in Dublin in 1948. She spent her childhood and early years in the County Wexford village of Oulart and subsequently her family moved to Greystones, County Wicklow and it is here that Carol Ann now lives.

Carol Ann is primarily self-taught artist. Having learned the basic techniques, she is of the opinion that creativity is either present or not and that talent cannot be taught– it can be nurtured and nourished, but not taught.

Since 1988 she has been painting, exhibiting and selling her work. Originally working in pencil, she quickly moved to acrylic, pastel, watercolour and then to oil which remains her primary medium.
Carol Anne has had seven solo exhibitions to date and her work is displayed in many public and private collections throughout Ireland and the UK.

Although continually changing and developing, her theme is always one of colour, light and atmosphere. In Carol Ann’s opinion a painting of value cannot exist without these three elements. There is a great sense of drama and movement in her work that evokes the shared human experience of living. By committing her dreams and unwritten poetry to canvas, she endeavours to lift the heart and touch the soul of the viewer.

Working intuitively she uses loose brushstrokes and colour that open up the full possibilities of the viewer’s imagination without the constraints of detail, creating the essence of a moment rather than a particular place or time.
