A life-long creative, Caroline has explored various artistic media throughout the years — from charcoal to acrylic, fiber to stoneware, and most everything in between. But through it all, time spent in nature where she could often be found creating aesthetically pleasing but short-lived arrangements of stones, sticks, driftwood, and leaves, was her grounding point.

On a mindfulness retreat along the shores of Lake Superior, Caroline discovered her connection to watercolor and the freedom of expression it gave to her in a way that she had only found when artfully arranging materials in their natural environment. The flow of the water and the unpredictable nature of the pigments across the textured landscape of the paper resulted in surprising details, some bold, some subtle, but all necessary to the subject’s beauty.

After more than a decade in creative marketing and professional editorial roles, Caroline is now devoting her time to creating visual art that reminds us to pause and appreciate the beauty both around us and within us. 

When not painting or traipsing through the forest, Caroline can be found riding her bike, gliding in her kayak, or sliding on Nordic skis across the snowy landscape of northern Wisconsin.
