Carole was born in Germany of British Army parentage, and was subsequently educated in England at Marlborough College before attending the Slade for studies in art. There she was awarded the David Murray Studentship in landscape painting, which led her to working in mid-Wales. After working for some years in graphic design in London, she took to having long working holidays in Cornwall as she was strongly drawn to the landscape and natural flora of the county. In 1983 she determined to make her permanent move to West Penwith.
Carole exhibited at the Jamieson Library, Newmill in its opening year (1986-7) with some 30 paintings, of which all were sold immediately on the first day. Having moved to her own home at Newmill, Penzance, she lived and painted from the Wesleyan Teetotal Chapel where she also held dyeing, weaving and spinning classes for pupils at her premises.
She was an active member of the NSA which she also served for some years as secretary to the Council, and member of working groups.

Duncan began painting professionally at the age of 19 in about 1983 and had his first exhibition that year. Soon after he gave up painting to study Architecture in London but returned to pursue his career as a full time artist a few years later. He has continued to attract collectors who appreciate both oil and watercolour paintings.
Inspired by the Newlyn School of Artists who worked in Cornwall in the last century his distinctive representational style captures texture, light and atmosphere in his landscapes and coastal scenes. He tries to evoke the same principles in his treatment of the interplay of light that those artists so successfully achieved in their paintings.
More recently he has diversified into a more fluid approach using oils on gesso board as a medium for his beach scenes to show his love of the sea with its movement, rhythms and space. Duncan has been the commissioned artist to paint the award-winning hotels of the year for the Automobile Association for the last 10 years and has also undertaken several paintings commissioned by the armed services.
Duncan was chosen by Country Life to feature on the front cover of their 13th March 2008 issue with his wonderful painting of "Booby's & The Bull" (sold in his sell-out solo exhibition in October 2007).

In the interim she has exhibited and travelled widely - from Mexico to India - and produces mixed media paintings of still life and landscapes which are joyous whether painted on wood or canvas. Much of her recent work has been inspired by coastal walks around and about St Ives, where she gathers ideas from the colours and shapes that she encounters along the paths.
