Carolin's (b. 1984, Boston) love for art emerged in childhood, inspired as much by the golden age illustrators and classical animation as she was by ancient art and old masters. At the same time, she was penning her mythical world, The Islands of Niljora, that has become the rich narrative and symbolism behind her work.

Carolin graduated with honours from The Savannah College of Art & Design with a full time scholarship, and studied classical art in her hometown of Boston and Italy. She began her professional career in her ancestral home of New Zealand, where she was a finalist for The Adam Portrait Award and chosen for a national tour with The New Zealand Portrait Gallery. Her illustrated books were purchased for the permanent heritage collections of New Zealand's National Libraries. Ever inspired by world culture and her life experiences, she travelled onwards. 

Carolin's works have been published in Beautiful Bizarre Magazine, The International A.R.C. Salon Catalogue and showcased in galleries in The United States, New Zealand and Europe.
