Carol Seeley's

Art Practice

Hi I am Carol and I am intuitive  artist, and my pieces are layered with texture and sgraffito, inviting the viewer to look closer and see what is beyond the surface.

 My art is a mindful process. Hours and days disappear when I am working on my latest piece. I paint daily - often up to 8 or more hours a day. Layers upon layers create interest, texture and joyful surprises. I am in love with colour and texture. Whether it be watercolour, inks, acrylic or oils...or a combination of, I love it all.

I paint on canvases - big and small, and on paper, I have prints and limited edition prints of some of my works to offer you too.

Travel is big influence in my art practice and the Australian landscape with its amazing colours and textures inspires me.

Caravan holidays are times for more painting (usually watercolours as they are easy to transport), travel is a time for collecting images to remind me of a place, a texture, a colour, a view that will later be translated into new works of art when I am home again.

My work is generally abstract - I love how the piece I paint becomes a part of a  conversation between the canvas and myself, then the completed work  continues that conversation with the viewer. No two views or conversations are the same.

I am honored that the City of Belmont has my abstract expressionist piece "Filling in the Silences” 2021, acrylic on canvas, in their permanent collection. I have sold my work to collectors, locally, nationally and internationally.

I live in the beautiful Margaret River region of Western Australia. I has a degree in Social Science and English, and I have co-produced an award-winning documentary that was screened at The Sydney Film Festival in 2014, and now I paint – prolifically, and joyfully. I look forward to meeting you soon.
