Description
Art making can be a conscious entry into the unconscious, a dance between the intentional and unintentional. I am fascinated with observing people and places and thinking about their stories. Many times, observation and getting lost in the work reveals surprises, messages, metaphors, lessons, and moods. I love capturing a gesture or a hint of what I see to express something we all share. It is my intention to create paintings with richness and energy, that have a history of their own, stop at a moment in time, then develop a relationship with the viewer going forward.
Caroline paints primarily in oil. She is influenced by her love of design, shapes and colors of life, work, and culture. She likes to begin with gestural marks and then through a give and take of working in layers, lets the painting develop.
