Carolin's (b. 1984, Boston) love for art emerged in childhood, inspired as much by the "golden age" illustrators and classical animation as she was by ancient art and the old masters. At the same time, she was penning her story, The Islands of Niljora, the mythical world that would become the rich narrative and symbolism behind her work.

 

Carolin graduated with honours from The Savannah College of Art & Design and studied classical art in her hometown of Boston and Italy. She began her professional career in her ancestral home of New Zealand, where she was chosen for a national tour with The New Zealand Portrait Gallery and her illustrated books, purchased for the national heritage collections of New Zealand's National Libraries. Ever inspired by world culture and her life experiences, she travelled onwards. 

 

Carolin's works have featured in Beautiful Bizarre Magazine and The International A.R.C. Salon Catalogue and showcased in galleries in The United States, New Zealand and Europe.
