Caroline Richardson is a British artist based in Wiltshire. She began her professional life in graphic design, working in the creative industry for over twenty years before making a decisive shift into painting. This transition marked a return to a long-standing interest in art, which she pursued more formally through further training in both Florence and London.

Her move into full-time painting was gradual but deliberate, shaped by a combination of studio study and structured atelier learning. These experiences provided a foundation in traditional techniques and a disciplined approach to observation, which continue to underpin her practice.

Since establishing herself as a painter, Richardson has built a steady exhibition presence with galleries across the UK, and her work is now held in private collections internationally. Her career reflects a considered change in direction later in life, moving from commercial design into a more independent and studio-based practice.

Alongside her studio work, Richardson’s background in design continues to inform how she approaches her career, from the way her work is presented to how she engages with galleries and collectors. This combination of commercial experience and fine art training has contributed to a measured, consistent progression, allowing her to establish herself within the contemporary British art scene without relying on a traditional academic route.
