Carol Guy is a country girl at heart, making the decision with her husband Geoff
to make a life change in 1994 and moving to Tolmie to raise their two young children.
They carefully designed and built their lovely rustic home of mud brick and locally
sourced timber on 13 acres, enjoying all that country living provides. They reluctantly
left their idilic home on the hill and long term friends and neighbours some four years ago,
moving to smaller acreage to be closer to all the conveniences that Mansfield has to offer.
After the children grew up, Carol was able to further pursue her passion in visual arts,
exploring various mediums in order to capture her love of flora and fauna. The colours
and texture of the country inspire her work and these are reflected in recent works
exhibited in shops and a gallery in Mansfield.
Carol enjoys working with alcohol inks, acrylic paints and resin. She continues to
explore these mediums, learning how they can help her visualise and express her
responses to the beautiful environment she lives in. Carol is always pleasantly surprised
with the outcome of her completed art pieces and enjoys sharing these with others.
