With a unique + controlled style, Carolyn has been painting for over 25 years. Through thoughtful combinations of color + gesture, her distorted figures act as visual invitations to engage with her work on a deep level. With intricate details and implied movement, she aims to create pieces that offer intrigue and beauty through relatable figures with raw emotion on display.

USING her background in drawing and sculpture, CAROLYN brings exaggerated dimensions to the human form.

In 2020, a more illustrative style emerged in Carolyn’s work. With a less painterly approach she created a new series trading dark backgrounds and skeletal figures for brighter palettes - morphing bodies and abstract shapes. This was a natural shift that began while using art as a coping mechanism during the early stages of the pandemic. 

Carolyn continues to explore different directions in her work and offers prints of many of her paintings on paper and fabric. Hand dyed linens are also added to the shop periodically in small batches, with the next drop coming in late spring 2025.

Carolyn works for CETTE — a women-led gifting company based in North Carolina, where she manages creative and financial operations. She lives with her husband and hound rescue and is a die hard Philly sports fan who loves spending much of her free time playing in the garden.
