After completing an Arts degree and Diploma of Education at La Trobe University, Carmel gained an Honours degree at Deakin University, and subsequently completed her Doctorate (art and environment) in 1998.
Her work is primarily concerned with connection to place and particularly the coastal sites around her home in Portland. She explores the human need to experience a connection with landscape, striving for an all-embracing understanding of the places where we live.

Carmel’s solo exhibition RED SEA at Gallery 101 Melbourne (28 August – 15 September 2007) addressed issues including those of global warming and marine pollution. She used materials collected on her many beach walks to construct her sculptures and wall pieces, and as the basis of her prints:
My verandah is groaning with plastic cray-pot throats, wooden cargo wedges, floats, fishing ropes and other strange industrial objects that defy definition. The sea continues to purge itself of these foreign bodies. I continue to relieve its tide-lines of them. There seems no end in sight, but we work together, the sea and I, in a continuous cycle of purging and collecting. |
