Price History
Description
An abstract work by artist Caroline Ashwood, mounted with a grey frame. Caroline Ashwood studied Art and Design in Yorkshire and London. After gaining a much-coveted position at Maurice and Charles Saatchi's ad agency in London, she embarked on a career as an award-winning creative in advertising. Encouraged by a popular following and patronage for her artwork, she decided to paint full time in 2004. Since that time, she has developed a technique that is recognised as her signature style. Her work remains unique through her in-depth understanding of the medium and its relationship to light, colour and texture. While often seen as abstract expressionism, Caroline's work takes literal points of reference from macro and micro observations in nature, geology and science. Her work is featured in many private collections worldwide and she has exhibited in galleries and shows throughout the UK.
Our Stylist Says
The Caroline Ashwood print is a striking piece that works well in contemporary or coastal-inspired interiors thanks to its calming blue tones and abstract design. Its generous size makes it a focal point on a feature wall, particularly in living rooms or offices with plenty of space. For styling, consider pairing it with minimalist furniture and neutral walls to let the artwork stand out, or layer it with other textured accessories for a more eclectic feel. Practical tips include hanging it at eye level for maximum impact and pairing with simple, sleek frames to enhance its modern aesthetic. Overall, it’s an excellent choice for adding colour and a sense of movement to a room without overwhelming the space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
