Hi, I'm Carolin
I'm an artist, teacher, and meaning seeker.
In my artwork I combine my love for nature, introspection and image making. This happens in quick, observational pen and ink sketches, meticulous, imaginative charcoal drawings or colorful oil paintings.
In making images I get to combine shapes, lines and values to honor my subject matter (observed or imagined).
Perplexingly, this very act opens the possibility to create meaning, and to deepen my understanding and experience of the world and my place inside of it.
Isn't that wild?!
Two other passions of mine that directly and obliquely affect my work are anatomy and animals (mostly horses and forest creatures). To support the creatures I adore so much I partner with several animal rescue organizations and always donate a portion of my sales to them.
i.e. Way Out West Equine Rescue
I am a classically trained artist who has been teaching drawing and painting related classes since 2008 at art colleges, such as Laguna College of Art and Design and CSULB.
In 2018 I started Cura Studios, an art studio turned online educational company through which I teach intermediate artists from all over the world how to truly master drawing so they can create the art they've always dreamed of creating.
I believe artists are drivers of change and nurturers of human resilience and Cura Studios is my way to support this special community.
And because I practice what I preach I always have my own creative projects cooking.
I take enormous pride in having had the chance to assist hundreds of students in their artistic evolution and would be honored in supporting your growth, too.
