Portrait of Mr PC, my friend's cat Mr PC is a portrait of a friend's cat. Some people say my work is like a photograph becuase there is so much detail. I am not sure if this is a disadvantage but it is my style. When using Acrylics as in Mr PC I use paint sparingly, never thick. Using several layers or washes I gradually build up the work.

A BRUSH WITH NATURE Paintings inspired by the beauty of Nature; the wonder of the Wilderness [Page - Carole Puzey - 2Ko - 2007]

I was born in England in 1947.  Very early in my life I found that I was artistic.  I won prizes at school for my art.  When I left school I did several evening classes; Portraits; Drawing and Painting.  I  started my art career with McGraw-Hill Publishing Company as a Layout Artist, working on the Magazines; Metalworking Production and Boilermakers Review.  I regularly produced line drawings for publication in those magazines. The company held a competition to design a new logo for one of the magazines.  I won this and my new logo appeared on the cover of Metalworking Production. After several years I moved to another publishing company in order to expand my horizons.  I worked on the magazine layout for Dog's Life; Shooting Times and Yachtsman.  Here also, I produced drawings and advertisements for publication. After  having a break of Three years to have a family I returned to the workforce.  This time as an Engineering Tracer/Draftsperson.  During the years after I left school I continued to paint and draw and was able to sell these. About Ten years ago I started to sell my work in Galleries and exhibitions.  Having no real formal training I have developed my own distinctive style.  I work in Acrylic, Goache, Pencil, Pastel and Pen and Ink.  My work is inspired by nature and wildlife. I moved to New South Wales, Australia with my family in 1982 [Biography - Carole Puzey - 2Ko]
