Carol Borrett - Painter

In 1985, Carol graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor of Education in both Art and Special Education. Carol's pursuit of a teaching career took her to Northern B.C. where she enjoyed the opportunity to experiment with her paintings of northern landscapes. In the late 1980's, Carol relocated to the coastal community of Maple Bay on Vancouver Island and continued to teach and develop her painting style.

Carol Borrett paints exclusively in watercolours out of her home studio in Maple Bay on Vancouver Island. Much of the inspiration for her pictures comes from time she spends traveling Vancouver Island and throughout the Gulf Islands. Her realistic paintings reveal her fascination with water, boats and reflections. They capture the many varied moods of the coastal area and way of life.
