Caroline Karp presents her series inspired from her love of nature, travel and reflection. Just as the poet defines beauty in his writing, Caroline captures it in her artwork. “I am compelled to create a beautiful world around my loved ones and me.” Caroline’s current body of work is an exploration of all different expressions of the mind. It is inspired by her own reflections into her psyche and the beauty which it projects upon the world. Equal measures of excitement and serenity are found within each work, with subtle displays of the intricacies of the ever-elusive human mind. The thick oils of the work are sculpted onto the canvas.
