Caroline is a charcoal portrait artist, illustrator, and animation layout artist and designer based in Brantford Ontario. Portraiture has been a passion of Caroline's for nearly 20 years now, and she has shown her work in galleries across Canada since the time she was a teenager. Her artistic journey began when she was very young, and very shy - art became her way of communicating with the world around her where words fell short. Where she would normally dread garnering any sort of attention, participating in art shows and galleries starting in her early teens opened the door to a whole new world. Caroline very quickly fell in love with showing and discussing her work, and eventually began teaching in small doses. Accepting commission work was another big step - the added pressure of meeting someone else's expectations was a little daunting at first, but sitting down with clients and hearing their stories linked to a single image, then being able to personalize that memory in a piece of art has not only brought her client's joy, but also herself. All of these experiences have helped her grow immensely as both a person and an artist, and now at 32 years old, she can't see herself doing anything else.

The start of 2024 saw her primary focus shift back to portraiture, and is currently in the process of formulating private and small group classes for both children and adults from her home studio.
