Introducing artist Caroline Philp
Bio
Caroline Philp, born in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, left school at 17 to study Foundation Art at Barnfield College, Luton, before joining Wimbledon School of Art’s theatre design course. From 1978 to 2016, she lived in Corfu, Greece, working as an interior designer and specialist painter, with several solo exhibitions. In 2011, she opened her own gallery, creating with natural materials like driftwood, roof tiles, and beach pebbles. Returning to the UK in 2016, she re-emerged post-lockdown with a solo show at Pontlands Park Hotel. In 2023, she became a resident artist at The Meadows, contributing to the Concrete Canvas street art festival and exhibiting at the ING Discerning Eye at The Mall Galleries, London. In December 2024, she moved to Plymouth to collaborate on renovating a two-storey apartment, where her interior and mural skills became central to the project.
“What strengthens me is that painting is not a strange hobby. It is a fundamental human activity — despite all the errors, painting can in principle make manifest our best, most human and humane qualities.”
— Gerhard Richter
