Both Carole and husband Peter Evans are largely self taught artists, though they both attended classes at the University of Wales under the guiding hand of inspirational teacher, Mike Freeman, whose influence is strongly evident in their work. There is an immensely appealing, whimsical quality to the work of both artists, and a natural appreciation of colour and tone. They are unmistakably Welsh paintings..

Both artists were born in Neath, where they still live, Cariole in 1944 and Peter in 1950, and both have exhibited throughout Wales.
