NOTE

'Water has always fascinated me. Over the years I have explored its symbolic qualities from being sunlit and inviting to its dark hidden depths...' (Carol Graham, 2006).

The Stone Steps exemplifies the artist's ongoing exploration of the intangible qualities of water and more specifically, it focuses on 'the solidity of stone and the ever changing movement of water. The steps create the invitation to enter...' (Carol Graham, 2006).

Born in Belfast, Graham studied at the Belfast College of Art. As the current President of the Royal Ulster Academy, she has had numerous solo exhibitions including those at The Arts Council Gallery, Belfast; The Tom Caldwell Gallery, Belfast and The Engine Room, Belfast. Amongst her portrait commissions are those of James Galway, President Mary Robinson and President Mary McAleese.
