About Caroline

Caroline can remember observing and drawing things around her from a very young age. She gained a four year BA (Fine Arts) Honours Degree at university, achieving firsts for Painting and Design. Thereafter, she painted huge backdrops and edited scenes for the film industry as well as created characters for a children’s TV series.

In Perth Caroline has embraced the vibrant Western Australian art scene. She has won many prizes for works in all mediums and run plein air workshops for the Gallery of West Australia in conjunction with the McCubbin Exhibition.

She teaches art at two different art centres and has judged four art competitions, including the WA Pastel Society.

Her main forte at the moment is painting important portraits having completed three commissions and seven others in one year.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

My paintings are individual in style and capture moments in time. Every day, at all times of day, I see paintings in everything I look at- be it people interacting, an old wrinkled face, a sunset over water, or flowers on a windowsill. I want to interpret them all. I have learnt to accept my diverse style and technique but I continually strive to tie myself down to one interpretation of the world which is dramatic and exciting.
