About the artist

Hello! I'm Carolyn. I'm an oil painter specialising in blending figurative realism with abstraction to explore the loneliness and cinematic atmosphere of urban life. My work delves into themes of identity, movement, and the hidden stories behind everyday experiences, creating a space where traditional techniques meet modern abstraction.

I attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and received a BA from Elmhurst University, along with a Master's degree in Arts Administration and Cultural Policy from the University of Manchester. After building a career as an arts professional for the past decade, I am now back to focusing on my first love: oil on canvas. 

Originally from Chicago, I now live in Manchester, UK, with my husband and our beloved cat. I’m excited to make my work more accessible through canvas and poster prints, offering a wider audience the chance to connect with my work across the world. I can't thank you enough for being here and helping to make my dreams come true!
