Caroline Mclachlan
I was born in Goodwick and draw most of my artistic inspiration from the sea and landscapes of North Pembrokeshire. I am a member of Fishguard Art Society.
Drawing and painting have always been a very important part of my life, beginning with drawing submarines and warships in the Mersey, when I was very little.
After I left school, I went to The Laird School of Art in Birkenhead, before going to The Royal Academy of Music to study singing for 5 years.
In 1966 I married James, a doctor, and we had two sons. Life was rather too busy to paint much during that time. When the boys grew up, I was able to devote more time to art, and did an Open College of Art course, which was very enjoyable and stimulating. Since then I have been lucky enough to do painting courses with a variety of wonderful teachers, including: Ken Howard, Lucy Willis and Tom Coates, and more recently with David Tress. All these artists have been hugely influential to me and given me great encouragement in my work.
I have exhibited at The Mall Galleries, R.B.S.A. and more recently at The old chapel Gallery, Pembridge, The Gallery Yr Oriel Newport, and Workshop Wales.
