Paint What You Love, Where You Live
Caroline Reid is a contemporary landscape artist who lives and works in Canberra, on Ngunnawal country, Australia – a rugged semi-alpine area hemmed in by mountain ranges to the west and east, and the Snowy Mountains to the south.
Although a practising artist all her life, her career in science and industry policy left little time for a professional art career until she experienced career burnout.
Caroline is most passionate about painting the Snowy Mountains, Kosciusko National Park and the wilderness areas of the Namadji National Park near her home. The flow of water as a life-giving resource is a source of understanding of the landscapes she paints.
She has invested countless hours training with master artists such as master pastelliste Marla Baggetta and developing her skills through countess hours at workshops and at the easel.
Her art is now in a number of private collections. She has received numerous art awards including the 2022 USA Boldbrush Abstract Painting Award. Her art has been shown in many solo and group exhibitions.
Caroline has completed a number of international artist in residence positions and conducts solo exhibitions at least once a year.
