Carol Banner's greatest source of inspiration is nature, with its myriad shapes and textures. Dead and dying plant forms often have a distinct beauty of their own which is frequently overlooked. Patterns and colours in deteriorating man-made products also have an unusual beauty which does not escape her eye.

Carol has mainly been working with pencil and pastel for the past few years,although she is also skilled in other media. Future plans include combining printmaking with drawing and design. In her view, "A different way of looking at things, either due to mood, insomnia or shortsightedness, in various combinations usually helps produce new ideas."
