Artist portrait | Carol and 'The Jack' | Cumbria

A short photo story I took of wonderful artist Carol McDermott.

Carol recommended ‘The Jack’ an old Zinc smelter site which provides inspiration for some of her work with it’s rich colours and textures. I love how Carol almost seems to blend into the surroundings, a very visual connection. A wild area yet Carol’s glamour isn’t out of place, she has an easy confidence with the land, drawing out its softer side. Carol cares very much about the natural world and the animals that inhabit it, i think this adds to how she looks and feels within it.

You should definitely Follow @paintercarol on Instagram to see her amazing works of art.
