Reviews of a recent exhibition of 'Pillars'
  • Carol Dance's artwork is an affirmation of creativity, how history influences or changes modern times, and more importantly, it makes you think deeply about your own existence. 'Pillars' represents a unique and quirky genre: 'neo-surrealism'. J. Wong, Weekend Notes.
  • Carol Dance is known as a neo-surrealist and her exquisite work is on display at the Stirrup Gallery. Basil Naimet, Innercity Weekender.
  • A powerful and intriguing exhibition. Art Post, what's on.

Carol’s studio is in the Walsh Bay Arts Precinct of Sydney, Australia.   Contact her at  carol.dance@iinet.net.au  to discuss commissions, sales and rentals.
