Caroline Deeble
Artist’s statement/curriculum vitae
I am a visual thinker. With each moment captured in time, an inerasable photograph is etched in my mind. It is these images that inturn redevelop and become the new image of the next art work that I create. My paintings are my visual creative response to my day dreams. Bringing them to life is my reward. I see myself as a painter of our natural world. It's beauty , colours and organic form inspires my continued developing artistic response. My passion & experience enables me to share my art technical skills through my private studio workshop classes.
Professional & Education experience:
Always painting, taking photographs and developing new art responses since I was a child, I am a creative spirit and always strive to develop my artistic abilities. Having spent 12 years as Visual Arts Technical Assistant, I was given the opportunity to work with a diverse range of mediums while inspiring senior secondary visual art students. Developing skills in drawing, painting, photography (SLR & Digital), printmaking, graphic, sculpture & ceramics my reward is to have a better understanding of how mediums mark, how to bring them to life and how to genuinely explore life through creative art practice. Following through with my desire to learn I completed a Diploma in Multi Media with Anutech at ANU in 2004 and completed an open art / creative adult learning course with The Canberra School of Art, ANU in 2006; 1998 - 2004 I developed many skills through local arts courses in Photography, Digital Design & Photoshop, and Creative Visual Diary Development & Book Binding. I spent many years developing and working under private tuition with Canberra Artist, the late ‘Tom Parsons’.
Currently working as an art teacher at The Lake House Studio teaching fine arts , specialising in watercolour. As an artist I am also practicing fine art as a part time artist, sharing art practice with local artists & photographers together with exploring creative endeavours with the Marsden Arts Group (MAG).
