Artist Bio
Despite being an avid creator her entire life, Caroline came to art as a formal study relatively late. Her voracious appetite for knowledge has pushed her to study such diverse subjects as anthropology, chemistry, fibre arts, dance, and wellness. She's lived or worked in eight provinces and two territories and has explored mediums ranging from pastels and charcoal to watercolour and oil, and even explored block printing and sculpture.
In art, Caroline aims to portray the essence of a subject in the medium best suited to represent it. Currently, she works in oils and block printing to capture landscapes, figures and still-life subjects in a loose but representational approach.
Caroline has shown in several group and solo shows in BC and Alberta and has pieces in collections in Canada, the US, and the UK.
