Commissioned watercolours of your special places by artist Carole Wilson

Welcome to my studio – you will find a selection of water colour and acrylic paintings of startling luminosity as well as works of art that will bring a peaceful 'sense of calm'.

I was raised in the country so my inspiration comes from the many happy times I spent exploring open fields, playing in old barns and visiting friends in fun filled cottages by the sea.

Rustic country buildings and tumbledown sheds make a number of appearances in my collection. If you see a piece of art in my collection that you would like please call me at
604 983 9870 or email

I look forward to hearing from you!
P.S. The dogs' name is Chester and he is NOT for sale!

about carole

Being creative has always been a way of life for me. Early on I created unique fabric tapestries and then explored the wonderful world of ceramics.

My desire to explore new creative opportunities led me to the exciting world of watercolours. Using strong colours allows me to bring out the individuality of each piece.

Initially my inspiration came from experiences I had as a child. I was inquisitive and when I would see a beautiful home, an old inn, an old tumble down shed in the woods or an old tug boat just waiting to go out to sea – I would wonder what memories or secrets are hidden inside. I now find myself exploring new subjects to paint, which are presenting their own unique challenges.

Hopefully some of my paintings will capture a few of your fondest memories.

If you have a special memory you would like captured please contact me – I would be happy to hear from you.
