Caroline developed an early interest in art, spending many hours as a child sketching horses, dogs and farm animals. After taking art ‘A’ level she studied at Bath Art School, Corsham Court, for one year’s Pre-Diploma, followed by three years in Italy under Nerina Simi, receiving a scholarship grant from Delta Metal for the last year. Simi’s father Filadelpho Simi had taught the young Pietro Annigoni. All study was done from the human model; both in life and portrait class, and Caroline also started to develop an interest in landscape at this stage.

She has been working on equestrian portraiture and related subjects, landscape and animal studies, taking part in mixed exhibitions in London, Bristol, Yorkshire and the Cotswolds. She has had work accepted at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Society of Equestrian Artists, both showing at the Mall Galleries. She is having a solo exhibition in London at the end of September 2005.

Caroline has undertaken a wide and varied range of commissions, houses in their garden surroundings, landscape and ‘conversation pieces’, portraits of people on their horses, and a varied range of drawing which includes illustration and design.

She also teaches an amateur art group concentrating on the technique and application of Oils. She has tutored painting groups on holiday in Italy and Spain, and is available to tutor work-shops or short courses.
