Biography

Carolyn V. Watson is a multi-award winning artist whose work has been exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Australia.

Carolyn anchors her practice in a place between the natural and the unknown. Building on a bedrock of authentic objects, her works appear at once familiar but also strange and other-worldly.

Watson shifts between two and three-dimensional modes while working, resulting in bodies of worth with distinct rhythms that repeat, echo and mimic reference points throughout.

Highly Commended in the inaugural 2021 Lethbridge Landscape Prize and a dual finalist in the 2020 Tom Bass Prize, she has won multiple awards at the Brisbane Sculpture Festival and Brisbane Rotary Art Spectacular.

Carolyn's work is held in public and private collections in Australia and internationally.
