Résumé

Carron is een autodidact in die zin dat ze geen lange-termijn kunstopleiding heeft gevolgd. Ze heeft wel haar eigen pad van zelf-educatie gevolgd gevuld met veel korte-termijn cursussen tussen 2000 en 2010 op scholen en in het atelier van enkele kunstenaars zoals Morten Langhoff en Nick Andrews.

Carron is an autodidact in the sense of not having had a long-term education. She did follow her own path of education by choosing short-term trainings from about 2000 til 2010 at local schools and at the ateliers of painters, such as Morten Langhoff and Nick Andrews.

” Is it not fine to see the development of oneself? The finding of one’s own tastes. The final selection of a most favorite theme; the concentration of all one’s forces on that theme; its development; the constant effort to find its clearest expression in the chosen medium; an effort of expression which commenced with the beginning of the idea, and follows its progress step by step, becoming a technique born of the theme itself and special to it. The continuation through years, new elements entering as life goes on, each step differing, yet all the same. A simple theme on which a life is strung.” The Art Spirit, Robert Henri
