Hi! I'm Carolyn.
Welcome to my page.
I'm a self-taught artist, with a background in secretarial (yawn), and I live in the beautiful leafy burbs of southern Sydney, surrounded by loud sqwarky birds, my two beautiful kiddos and nature.
I work for a paint major helping people with their home colour schemes, and Saunders & Co. Colour Design is my side hustle.
The Co. are my kids and they are my little cheerleaders.
My mission is to bring joy and colour to your home or office space with my original, hand painted artworks.
My Artwork
My tools are basic and brushstrokes are broad and imperfect.
I believe wholesomely that the right pigment, colour marriage and relatable subject can completely transform your mood and bring a space to life.
Please enjoy.
My Journey
I spent my mid 20s travelling the globe headbanging to Pearl Jam & Silverchair side of stage. I drew portraits of my favourite bands, and boldly approached them for signatures so I could one day sell them.
Fast forward 25 years, two magnificent children, a Colour Design Diploma, 6 house moves, 2 job losses, a divorce, the pandemic, and cutting my teeth in the tile and design industries under my belt, I found myself back where I always felt at home, advising on colour and painting acrylics on canvas.
This is what fills my cup.
There's nothing I love more than sitting in a sunny spot, painting and listening to the sounds of nature and the happy squeals of children in the neighbourhood.
