Caroline Wheaton

Artist & Sculptor

Caroline Wheaton is a British born artist and sculptor based in Chamonix.  She is no stranger to juggling creativity and “normal life”, having worked in the corporate world for 25 of the last 30 years.

However, now able to work full time on her artistic practice, Caroline is keen to show others how a little bit of creativity goes a long way in relieving the stresses and strains of everyday life.  As a rule of thumb, her painting explores life in the mountains and her sculpture, the human form.
