Black country singer merges high notes with fine art
Used to taking centre stage, singer / songwriter Carol Widenbar can often be seen performing at venues across The Black Country. But when the unsigned artist merged the high notes with fine art, resulting in a first solo exhibition, the Wolverhampton-born artist couldn't have been more nervous.

Carol takes her inspiration from life experiences and can turn even old scrap metal into a piece of art. Her pieces, many with a touch of humour include drawings, sculptures, and a talking toilet.
In June 2005 Widenbar was awarded a first class degree in Fine Art Sculpture from Wolverhampton University and made The Tree of Light sculpture at Tettenhall College.
Although Carol has no plans to ditch her guitar in favour of a paintbrush, she is still aiming for a top chart position.
The Art of Carol Widenbar exhibition runs until 28th July at Bilston Craft Gallery.
