Artist Spotlight: Ocean Studio Artists Talk

Join RAMP for the first talk in our Artist Spotlight series, an inspiring TED Talk-style event designed for creatives, artists, hobbyists of all skill levels, and the general public!

Kicking off the March series, studio artists Caroline Green & David Smart will take the stage to share insights into their artistic process, inspirations, and what it takes to make a living in the art world.

Caroline Green is a fine artist, children's writer and illustrator. Her larger scale work in oils and mixed media are lively interpretations of the subject portraying the mood and atmosphere of the subject.

She uses her smaller scale work in watercolour, pen and ink to illustrate her stories about her little dog Oscar and his adventures. Self-published she has successfully produced several in the series and now has a loyal Oscar fan club!

David Smart designer on Art of Noise (ZTT) and Frankie Goes to Hollywood (ZTT), award-winning artist David has work in the V&A permanent collection. With a vast background in design, and academic. David has been developing an art practice making responses to Dartmoor – the extraordinary landscape, prehistoric field systems and settlements, moorland meadows, woodlands and more recently, he has begun to look closer at coastline and urban landscapes. He employs many of the principles and processes in graphic design to define space and form. Looking at landscape, he deconstructs and simplifies. His responses are about experience rather than what is actually seen – a sensation, feeling or mood – rather than anything representational.

Expect engaging 20-minute talks, followed by a 20-minute interactive Q&A session, where you can ask questions and dive deeper into their journey and finish off with 20-minute of networking and socialising.
