From 1994 to 1999 Caroline sold and exhibited her photography in her own and other Gallery’s on the Sunshine Coast , QLD.

Much of Caroline’s childhood was spent growing up in Swan Hill, country Victoria . In 1999 she moved back to her home town and worked in the Natural Science field again. With her husband and two children Caroline lives on their farm at Mystic Park . Both Caroline and her husband Josh are passionate about the environment and actively revegetating their farm when ever they have the time.    

Caroline (alias PAX) began to fulfil a growing ambition to paint and draw, completing 1 st year drawing, painting and black & white photography at the Swan Hill Tafe in the year 2000.

Since then Caroline has had many solo and group exhibitions of her paintings and photography.

In 2006 Caroline began teaching art to children in schools and at the Swan Hill Art Gallery.   In 2007 she started a series of Murals at the Kerang Primary school, in 2008 Caroline will continue with the Murals and will be an “Artist in Residence” at the Lake Charm School (the project will merge the arts and the environment in it's teachings). (click here for further details regarding art classes and Murals).

Caroline’s art is inspired by the local landscape and its resident character’s, it captures a moment in time of pure beauty and energy or just plain fun.
