Hello to everyone still here! ✸ I have been on a long hiatus. The past 6 years since 2020 have been brutal and relentless, but I'm finally coming out of the end of it now. As a final kick in the teeth, my Instagram (where I mainly posted my work) was hacked, wiped and despite trying everything to get it back, totally inaccessible. Its taken a long time to get myself back on my feet and get back into making art again, and I've made a new art instagram here. It would mean the world if you were to check it out because its not easy to start again on there these days ✦ Thank you so much for supporting my work!

I find November to be a different kind of dark and bewitching month. Misty and grey with a crisp but potent magic in the air, it makes me want to seek out art that is eerie and mysterious. Caroline Jamhour is gifted in the ability to create both traditional art thats is so smooth and refined it could be digital, and digital art that has a rich texture and depth that looks stunningly and effortlessly traditional. The result is something deeply mystical and steeped in its own  mythology.

In her digital pieces she is able to create a dark, but enchanting mood, utilising light and shadow in a way reminiscent of classical paintings. This works effectivly with her intricate use of textures to give her paintings an almost worn appareance which is further enhanced by somehow achieving a painting technique that is remeniscent of thick oils or acrylic. This, combined with heavy outlines and chunky dabs of highlight carve a very sculptural look in her digital work and an almost Art Nouveau-esque graphical look in her traditional work. In her colour palette, she often juxtaposes cool and warm tones, with blue tinted highlights often popping against a yellow base. However it never clashes, as the tones are all united under an earthy sepia tone that, along with the texture, fully evokes the feel of an old vintage storybook, particularly seen here above in her Two of Wands Tarot card from created for the Woven Path Tarot. 

Sorry that it has been long time no see with the Artist Features! This year has revolved a lot around getting settled in my new flat and as such, I’ve been feeling pretty dry creativly, but I’m feeling very hopeful and excited about the new year to see where my art takes me!

It’s always when I’m feeling really bad about my art, like I’ll just never be good enough, that someone will leave the nicest, most uplifting message in the tags of their reblog that I’ve ever seen...genuinely, please know that this makes my day, my whole week in fact! It gives me so much strength to keep going!!
