Carol Dougans
Fine Artist
ABOUT
I explore a diverse range of subjects and techniques within my artistic practice. My primary focus is on how colour, form, and mark-making can abstract the subject and imbue it with deeper meaning. I aim to transcend mere description, allowing the work to speak to the viewer in the same way the subject resonates with me.
While my early work was predominantly figurative, my current interest is drawn to the patterns and colors I observe in nature, and I am following this direction in my creative journey.
