Carol was born and brought up in South Africa, and attended Michaelis School of Art as part of a BA degree at the University of Cape Town in 1963.

 

After a long period running an antique shipping company in London, she began studying at the Lydgate Art Research Institute under the tutelage of the renowned Robin Child.

​

In 2004 she instigated the formation of the Rosvik Gallery, a collective of invited artists specialising in abstract and semi-abstract works.

 

Regular workshops (known as paint-ins) are held at the gallery in the heart of the Wiltshire countryside and all benefit from the shared experience and mutual support received from their fellow artists.
