BODYPAINTING

About Carolyn

"If you could see the things my eyes have seen..."

I have watched Masai warriors drawing blood from the neck of a bull to colour their hair,
I have sat in in the desert of Gujarat, painting henna on the hands and feet of a Princess for a seven day royal wedding,

I have watched tattoos being hammered into the skin of a nomadic woman entering her adolescence.

I have traveled through New Zealand and seen the Maoris being tattooed. Slept under the stars in the Sahara desert where the Wodabi tribesman paint their faces, and dreamt that I could paint like Salvador Dali.

All this is a tiny part of the inspiration that I bring to the bodypainting courses that I teach.

My aim is to inspire you. To elevate you. To encourage you to go beyond all that has been done before. To create new images, to paint in a way that brings wonder and thought to the minds of those who witness your work.
