Caroline grew up in Bangkok, Thailand before moving to England where she gained her Foundation Diploma in Art & Design at Central St Martin’s, London and her BA (HONS) Illustration degree at Brighton University.

After working in set design for feature films throughout her 20’s, Caroline followed her instincts and returned to painting. Predominantly a portrait Artist, her work explores ageing and the stories of people that otherwise might be lost. Her direct portrayals of the elderly force you to address the conversation around society’s representation of the ageing population and celebrate their wealth of life experience through paint. She creates nuanced allegories - building tensions around confrontation, vulnerability and playfulness that somehow allows you to connect with her characters, their physicality and life force.

Caroline lives and works in South Shropshire. Please email for commission enquiries.
