About Caroline Tate I studied Fine arts at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London, where many of my paintings were of car parts! I started to sell my work and commenced a job in advertising, later moving to Scotland to work in a Recording Studio, getting involved in local music and advertising for buses (!) tv and radio. Back in London again I had a family, and continued to sell some paintings. Then I moved into teaching painting to many groups including Housebound Learners, the U3A, a Day Centre, Adult Education, and now I help Day Patients at a local Hospice with some painting.

Past work includes many paintings of landscapes in Norway, Prague, Italy, and of course many scenes of the UK. I had a year painting Cathedrals, then 'bridges' of London, Prague, and Paris. The emphasis has always been on light, exuberant colour and effects, with texture often playing a part. I love to have several works on the go at once.

Exhibitions have included The Austrian Cultural Forum in Kensington, London, Christies 'Art for Life', The Stanley Picker Gallery, Merriscourt, Lloyds TSB Private Banking exhibition, Putney Arts Theatre, Surrey Artists' Open Studios,Sandown Park Prom Art exhibition, Wine Gallery Chelsea, Fisherton Mill Salisbury, View Gallery Thames Ditton, American Agency Weybridge, Guildford Cathedral, Yehudi Menuhin School of Music.

New projects: Italian landscapes in mixed media based in a trip to Umbria and Tuscany in May 2007. Plus new paintings of the London skyline, particularly at dusk. Recently I have exhibited many paintings based on the music of Gustav Mahler. I have painted other composers too including Beethoven! Also the glorious colours of 2004's autumn have inspired many acrylics of my local National Trust Garden, Claremont, which has a beautiful lake.

In 2005 I would love to paint some music I have composed, but I think it will be on a very simple basis.
