Between Sky and Garden Painting

Once upon a time, there was a creative little girl named Caro. She loved spending her time creating drawings, which she then sold for 5 cents or 10 cents to passers-by in front of her family house in Québec, Canada. She dreamed of being an artist when she grew up... Years later, the dream came true! I graduated in graphic design in 1999, and spent the following twelve years working as a graphic designer and art director. Then, finding that my work was not satisfying my thirst for creativity and my need for artistic freedom, I opened my own creative online shop in 2012. In 2023, in addition to my work as a self-employed surface designer and illustrator, I have taken up painting in order to professionally explore a passion that until recently had remained somewhat in the shadows of my other creative achievements. I like to paint simple and repetitive shapes in an abstract expressionist style and intuitive approach, in order to find myself in an almost meditative state - I find freedom there, a creative letting go, I disconnect from everything, and my mind escapes. A color lover, I like to play with all the possible tones and shades imaginable. I create compositions where lines and dots come together in a colorful and happy dance for the eye that looks at them. Rather solitary by nature, I like to create in the quietness of my lakefront home studio in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc (QC, Canada), with my cat Cocotte by my side.
