Welcome, I'm Carolyn. I'm a single mum of two, and an Award-winning Artist and Colour Designer. My hobby biz is Saunders & Co. Colour Design, where I hand paint original, big bold quirky birds on canvas. From a young age, nothing made me happier than holding a brush in my hand and creating art, whether that be through drawing, painting, or makeup artistry. Now my kids are part of it and my no 1 critics! Through my life I have drawn great inspiration from patterns and sounds in nature, animals and eyes and I just love the excitement playing with colour undertones to bring it all to life! I'm into big, assymetrical brushstrokes and personality that tells a story when it looks back at you. I believe in creating a space and mood around artwork, whether it be a living area in a private home, or a commercial foyer.
I studied my Cert IV in Design at ISCD then completed a Diploma in Colour Design, which was awakening and helped me realise my true purpose. I used to dream in colour collages every night; I felt like that exhilarated little girl again! My goal is to be brave, focus on what I'm good at, and keep building a business for myself. So come with me, and please enjoy.
