Caroline works in a 19th century Sail Loft on Topsham Quay with boats & buoys outside her door on the Exe Estuary. She tries to capture the changing patterns of the boats movements in all of her work.

Ink/pastels make a cracked surface over vintage maps, and the reclaimed painted frames remind her of the boats sea-weathered hulls on the Quay outside. Maps/star charts are also incorporated into her monoprints.

She exhibits her work in Devon and the Scilly Isles. She was recently featured in 'Coast'  magazine.

Her work feels like ?swatches' or sections of a larger pattern of boats - hence the name 'wallpaper boats'.
