Welcome to carolinejackmanart.com.
I have over 20 years of experience as:
Painter & printmaker
Coach & mentor
Freelance workshop leader for all ages
Freelance arts project facilitator
Working to commission on pet portraiture since 1997
Artist Talks and demonstrations

I have three strands to my life: running a farm; working as a coach and business trainer and working as an artist and teacher. My creativity is what I bring to all aspects of my life. I know I cannot be full time as an artist, I like to help people too much. But my painting and my printmaking is my meditation, I carve out time for this at weekends and evenings; working regularly to commission and occasional exhibition. My passion for being in the natural environment, looking after animals and nurturing their life comes into the subject matter that drives the imagery in my artwork.
