Carly Rose – “And Breathe” – Week 1

Carly discovered painting a few years ago, at a time when she was searching for a creative outlet to balance the busyness of life as a primary school teacher and a mum of two. What began as a quiet way to carve out some “me time” quickly grew into a passion. Painting has allowed her to unwind, express, and explore a whole new side of her creativity.

Her work is full of energy and vibrancy, using a lot of colour and texture. Carly takes her inspiration from many different areas, the natural world, people and a love of travel. Recently, she has expanded her craft to pottery and has found a different artistic channel through creating pieces by hand.

Until now, Carly’s paintings have been personal – created purely for enjoyment or gifted to family and friends. This exhibition marks her first time sharing her work more widely, an exciting and slightly nerve-wracking step!

Carly’s exhibition will be held from 1st – 31st December.
