CARYN NOAD

BIOGRAPHY

Caryn is a self-taught artist, working primarily in watercolour, charcoal and ink. Her background is in graphic design and signwriting.

Caryn is drawn to the unpredictability of watercolour, the way pigment flows on wet paper, and how layering colour creates depth and contrast while preserving the luminous glow of white paper. Her creative process is immersive and guided by her emotional response to the spaces around her. Her work depicts urban and rural landscapes. Sometimes focusing on intimate, close-up details and at other times stepping back to capture a broader perspective. She particularly enjoys the challenge of capturing the textures of erosion and decay.
