CAROLINE GRAY

CV Press Release Artist Talk

Caroline Gray is a California-based visual artist, who works in the mediums of photography, painting, and mixed media. She gets inspiration in particular from her extensive travels, both locally and abroad. She was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and was brought up in the UK.

Caroline came to California 25 years ago, and photographing the California coastline has been a constant theme:- the varying moods and emotions of the Pacific, scenes of life on the beaches above and under water. “The camera is for me another visual organ—a mode of sensibility in its own right. I can’t imagine exploring the world without it. I just go on learning, seeing things anew. This is for me the release of California. The landscape and culture just frees the eye to see and then see again ever fresh."

Photography has always been her passion, while working in PR, choreography, theater, and art galleries. Her passion became her profession. "Nature offers a vocabulary for the exploration, and the objectivization, of our human emotions, a vocabulary more nuanced, more immediate, than words. My photographs voice that.”
