Carrie Pooler & Volker Mersch

Thursday 27th July to Monday 18th September 2017. Daily 9am-5pm.

Carrie Pooler is a Bristol artist working in acrylics, collage and printing.

Carrie spent her early years in the Middle East, moving back to the UK at the age of seven.  Carrie moved to Bristol in 1982, and has stayed ever since.  After leaving a long career in housing, regeneration and partnerships, she has been focussing on her art for the past 9 years.

Much of her art is influenced by her love of the Middle East, of music and of the vibrant city and landscapes in the beautiful West Country.  Her paintings and collages often feature abstract and semi-abstract Bristol and West Country scenes, her guitar and various Arabic jugs.

Carrie is continuing to explore colour, shape, texture and different perspectives, often using a West Country or Middle Eastern palette.  Her work continues to experiment with texture and the overlaying of different perspectives to give a cubist feel.

Carrie’s work includes paintings, collages and prints (lino, collagraph, screen prints).

Cards and giclee prints are also available of some of her work. Art work and cards will be for sale throughout this exhibition.
