Carolyn Lewis began painting ay a very early age. From day one her preferred medium has been oil and she hasn't looked back since. Carolyn has subsequently developed a wealth of talent and knowledge for her chosen medium which can be clearly seen within her work. A commendable quality of Carolyn's work is the feeling one experiences of actually being in the scene while viewing her strongly designed landscapes.
