ABOUT

 

 

Caroline uses a painterly style often focusing on the emotion of a subject in addition to its outward appearance.

Painting is personal. I enjoy the intimacy of the act of painting. It incorporates a spectrum of
experiences: joy, freedom, pride, yearning, honesty, fear, shame, frustration. It is a space
where time and daily life melt away and it is just the painting– and me. My favorite
subject is human nature. I find it endlessly fascinating to paint people.

Caroline maintains a studio at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Arts. She is also the owner of Chengraphix, a graphic design firm based in Delaware for over 10 years. She lives in Wilmington, Delaware.
