Whether it be searching for powder, the perfect wave, or the perfect
light to paint, Caroline's passion for travel has led her to all hemispheres
of the earth. Her paintings in oils have carefully documented her desire
to experience such varied environs as the South Pacific, Caribbean,
Mediterranean, Indonesia, as well as her native California and Mammoth
Lakes.
In
her richly painted compositions, shadows and vibrant colors create wonderful
impressions that are certain to evoke memories among those familiar with
these settings.
Caroline began painting in oils at the age of six, nurtured by creative
parents and the artistically rich setting of Laguna Beach. Her years
of experience culminate in paintings produced by a labor-intensive technique
that involves numerous coats of sizing onto linen and the application
of many layers of alkyd-resin glazes. This results in the deeply transparent
surfaces that contrast wonderfully with the creamy opaque areas of the
work.
Caroline divides her time between Europe,
and her two California studios: One, on the southern coast in Laguna
Beach. The other, 8,000 feet up in the Sierra Mountains. A few months
every year are spent travelling the world, gathering images and life
experiences.
