The Hidden Garden of Knowledge

Carolin creates her works from a love of myth, history, the human journey and ​recollections from her world travels. Utilising a classical but also illustrative use of watercolours, pen and ink and traditional dry media, her works evoke her mythical world - The Islands of Niljora - which she began penning from a young age, and that has developed into the rich symbolism and storytelling behind her works. Delicate and ethereal, complex and full of exquisite detail, her works elicit an otherworldly realm of tales within tales. Granted a full time scholarship, Carolin completed her degree with Honours at The Savannah College of Art & Design​​.​ Alongside exhibiting in The United States, New Zealand and Europe, she has engaged in projects for books, covers and magazines, and been selected to feature in publications including The International A.R.C. Salon Catalogue, Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, Infected By Art, Hyperlux Magazine and Fabled Magazine. Her works can be found in collections in The United States, Europe, New Zealand, Australia and India and her books are part of the permanent heritage collections of New Zealand's National Libraries and beyond.
