ABOUT THE ARTISTS

Carol Banner
Carol Banner is an accomplished Pastel and pencil artist who lives in the Wairarapa district of New Zealand.
In the on-line slideshow you can see a changing collection of twenty pastel and pencil works. All are for sale.
Carol is mainly influenced by the Art Nouveau era which was largely based on nature and natural shapes and forms.
The work of M.C.Escher has also had a big influence. His sense of design, use of space, perspective and mathematics was truly innovative, along with his mixture of fantasy, distortion and metamorphosis.
The foundation for Carol's work is nature with slight variations so anything different appeals to her, hence the name for her work "Natural Fantasy".
