Pastels – Shadows in the Landscape with Caroline Reid (25-26 July)

Caroline Reid is a contemporary landscape artist who lives and works in Canberra, on Ngunnawal country, a rugged semi-alpine area hemmed in by mountain ranges to the west and east, and the Snowy Mountains to the south. Although a practising artist all her life, her career in science and industry policy left little time for a professional art career until she experienced career burnout. She turned to plein air painting at first as a means to recover physically and psychologically from an intensity of care for the natural world that left her overwhelmed with grief.

Caroline is most passionate about painting the Snowy Mountains, Kosciusko National Park and the wilderness areas of the Namadji National Park near her home. The flow of water as a life-giving resource is a source of understanding of the landscapes she paints.

Her art is now in a number of private collections. She has received numerous art awards including the 2022 USA Boldbrush Abstract Painting Award. Her art has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions.

Caroline completed an artist residency at Venezia Contemporaine in Venice in October 2022 and the Chateau Orquevaux residency in France in May 2023. She recently completed a 6-week residency in Kavala, Greece, in late 2024.

Caroline exhibited her Venice residency paintings at the Brick Lane Gallery, London, in June 2023.

Caroline is a winner in the 2024 Artavita online competition SEE HERE and was a finalist in the 13th ‘All Women’ show at Light Space Time Gallery

She has recently been long-form interviewed for a glossy art magazine article here: and has been interviewed on Australian radio arts programs several times.

Caroline has recently been featured in Contemporary Art Curator Magazine. https://www.contemporaryartcuratormagazine.com/online-exhibition-parallel-worlds/caroline-reid

Good selection of soft pastels with at least 5 tones in each colour, including plenty of darks (THIS MEANS 40-50 PASTELS) in landscape colours (greens, browns, blues, yellows). Reasonable sets are available Online from softpastels.com.au: https://softpastels.com.au/ . I RECOMMEND Australian Art Spectrum, French Sennelier and Schminke pastels as the best.
