Women in Art - Raising the Bar
15 FEBRUARY 2022 - 08 MARCH 2022Notes
I met Rosie out in Los Angeles soon after her father, co-founder of Dice Magazine, passed away. She seemed to be at a point in her life where the contradiction of profound clarity and utter confusion when losing someone so important, was stirring an undeniable need for change in approach to life. I wanted to capture that moment with Rosie sat in front of her Dad's garage looking towards a hopeful future.
Predominantly a portrait Artist, Caroline enjoys combining her more analytical approach to the human form with a contemporary illustrative quality to the silhouette and composition.
