My Story
Carol Guy is a visual artist whose work is deeply inspired by the natural beauty of the Australian countryside.
In 1994, she and her husband Geoff made the life-changing decision to move to Tolmie, Victoria, where they raised their two young children. Together, they designed and built a rustic mudbrick home using locally sourced timber, embracing the tranquility and inspiration that rural living provides. After many years in their beloved hilltop home, they relocated to a smaller property closer to Mansfield, maintaining their connection to the region while enjoying greater access to its amenities.
With her children grown, Carol has devoted more time to pursuing her long-held passion for visual arts. Her creative practice draws on her love of the local flora and fauna, with her surroundings playing a central role in shaping the colours, textures, and moods of her work. She works primarily with alcohol inks, acrylics, and resin—mediums that allow her to explore vibrant palettes and fluid forms, often resulting in surprising and expressive outcomes.
Carol's work has been exhibited in local shops and galleries in Mansfield, where it continues to attract interest for its dynamic use of colour and nature-inspired themes. She remains committed to exploring new techniques and materials as she deepens her artistic practice, always finding joy in sharing her creations with others.
