KAROL
OAKLEY
The first medium Karol was introduced to was pastel. She was hooked. Thirty years later she travels the world sharing her love of pastel through, teaching, workshops, judging, plein-air painting events, demonstrating and leading painting tours. Karol also shares her love of pastel in articles for Australian Artist magazine.
Karol enjoys painting ‘en plein-air’ and paints from life as much as possible. The versatility and vibrancy of the pastel lends a richness, to the expressive representational style Karol’s work is described as.
Karol is a long-time member of the PSA and a Master Pastellist, awarded the Pastellist of the Year in 2014. She has work in private and public collections both here and overseas as well as having work juried into the IAPS convention and Exhibition in 2017. Karol has recently returned form NZ as the 2018 guest judge and artist for their PANZ conference.
