Born in Dublin, she spent her childhood in County Wexford, before her family moved to Greystones, County Wicklow, and it is here that Carol Ann now lives, with her husband and four children. Never having had an opportunity to study art at school, Carol Ann is mainly self-taught. Since 1988 she has been painting, exhibiting and selling work. Originally working in pencil, she quickly moved to acylic, pastel, watercolour and then onto oil, oil now being her primary medium. Carol Ann Waldron is quickly establishing herself as one of Ireland's emerging artists.
