Over the years, Carol Cauldwell has developed a solid reputation and a large global following for her whimsical sculptures that appeal to the nostalgic yearning in all of us for a more innocent world in which dreams come true. Her works grace numerous important private collections across most continents.
Carol was born in Germiston, SA in 1968 and grew up in the picturesque surrounding of the Magaliesburg. Inspired by her father’s love for art, she joined the Johannesburg School of Art, Ballet, Drama and Music, first specializing in music until she transferred to art. In 2011 she took the decision to fulfill a lifelong dream to start to sculpt in wax and bronze casting and this has remained her core focus ever since.
The tremendous discipline required to manage a factory creating over 4000 hand painted ceramics per day gave Carol the skills required to become one of South Africa’s most prolific artists with an exceptional focus and work rate. The style of her artworks has been described as ‘Magic Realism’.
Carol enjoys pushing the boundaries to the limits in terms of design and materials and this has led to her decision to open her own foundry.
