Carol Barnwell

Carol Barnwell is a lifelong artist whose work is held in private collections across Canada, the UK, Southern Africa, New Zealand, and Australia. With over 50 years of painting experience, her meticulous attention to detail and love of nature infuse every piece with warmth and depth.

Carol studied art at senior school and the Peter Birch School of Art before completing a veterinary degree at the University of London. She enjoyed a distinguished 40-year career as a vet, establishing three veterinary practices on two continents, before she decided to hang up her 'surgical gloves' to focus on her art fulltime. Her deep knowledge of animals and anatomy brings her fauna and floral artworks vividly to life.

Carol also loves exploring new styles that push her creativity beyond her comfort zone. As a lifelong learner who thrives on a challenge, Carol believes this has helped to keep her art practice honest and constantly evolving.
