Carol Chapman first studied sculpture in Surrey, exhibiting regularly with the Camberley Art Society. After moving to Cornwall in 1990 she studied with the Open College of Art, qualifying both Art and Design and Sculpture.

Her medium has been almost entirely in concrete, but more recently ceramics. Her work is mainly abstract, focusing on strength of line to create form. She regularly attends life drawing classes at the St Ives School of Art, of which she is a member.

She is a founder member of the Boscastle Group and has exhibited with the Bude Art Society and several galleries in both Devon and Cornwall.

Her work can be seen in the Cowhouse Gallery, Perranuthnoe, Cornwall.
