Many have a soft place in their hearts for this historic Sonoma County landmark. Tragically, Fountaingrove Round Barn burned to the ground on October 9 2017.
The original painting just sold, but will still be available to view at my open studio during Art Trails.
I have donated cash to the value of 100% of the purchase price to the Art Trails Artist Relief Fund.
I am currently taking orders for fine art giclée reproductions of the painting, the income from which will also be donated to fire relief efforts.
Please contact me if you would like your own copy as a keepsake of the Round Barn. Prices $50 and up.

Solo show "Pieces of Me" - July 2017. Healdsburg.
Mixed aqua media and collage paintings.

©Carolyn Wilson. Royal Mail. Mixed aqua media and collage on canvas. 12 x 6 x.75 inches $325

Featured artist, Upstairs Art Gallery, Healdsburg.  July 2017.
Reception July 8 5-8pm.

Full of personal history and layers of meaning, British expatriate Carolyn Wilson's current series of collage pieces capture aspects of her experience living and traveling in England. She says, "Communicating more than what is merely visible on the surface, my latest collage work incorporates ephemera, such as maps, printed words and postage stamps. The work is embedded with fragments of my life story - pieces of me. The mementos might end up being only partially visible beneath layers of paper, or completely hidden, but their inclusion is important to my creative process and the evolution of a piece. The viewer needs to take a close look to discover them."

Carolyn's collage work has a tactile, fabric like quality, and contemporary style framing of paintings on canvas or wood panels eliminates the need for glass, allowing viewers to enjoy and even touch the rich surface textures. Many of Carolyn's new works are small in size, although equally as creative and detailed as her larger paintings.

She stays fresh and challenged in her creative approach by experimenting with new materials, introducing elements of risk, unpredictability, problem solving and playfulness. She uses a variety of aqua media, (meaning anything dissolved with water) such as watercolor, acrylic, inks and gesso in combination with collage elements of found or hand colored rice papers.
