Artist Bio: Carin Lavery |
|
Carin is a visual artist, born and raised in England, now living in Melbourne Australia. She is most widely known for her bold dynamic watercolours of our natural world. She also works with graphite and pastels and writes poetry. Her work has been licensed for Christmas cards and has attracted international awards. She has a strong commissions-following, exhibits regularly and sells internationally. Her paintings are as diverse in style and subject as nature itself. Realistic, impressionist or abstract, they communicate our world through watercolour – ranging from the land, sky, sea, animals and insects to people and communities. Carin raises community awareness of important subjects through her art. She says “Art can be a powerful means of communication like no other”. To date, sales of her paintings have raised $14,000 to support programs for refugees and people seeking asylum and victims and survivors of domestic violence. Carin has also raised awareness of marginalised Australian Indigenous communities and traditional land management practices through her paintings. Exhibitions 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015 |
