Caroline Canning "Trees St. Stephen's Green Dublin" Oil on panel, 12" x 12"
As a painter, Irish artist, Caroline Canning is largely self-taught, after abandoning her studies for an art degree at the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art & Design. Her motivation as an artist comes from an acute observation of her immediate surroundings and the inherent beauty and wonder that she finds there, whether in the wild Irish landscape of Connemara, or the shoreline of the Dublin coast, or Dublin's leafy parks and canal banks. She works from her home where her large light filled kitchen also serves as her studio, and scenes from domestic life often appear in her paintings.
