Caroline Connor

Caroline is a young artist who recieved her Bachelors in Fine Arts from Appalachian State University in 2025. She has always been particularly drawn to the intricacy of painting landscapes and seascapes, concentrating on the way we interpret the natural world. In recent years, Caroline has been specifically practicing painting landscape scenes on-site. As she can truly appreciate the beauty of the space, and turn it into a form of documentation. The connection gained from studying the space afterward is truly remarkable. Caroline has been more focused on creating accurate representations of what her eye sees, rather than “picture-perfect” paintings. As she continues to experiment with varying techniques and processes with each new painting, Caroline is excited to create more as she embarks on her artistic career.

Artist Statement

Originally from Charlotte, NC, I create with deep intention and drive. I am compelled to create scenes that captivate my viewers’ attention with the use of visible brush strokes, value, and texture. I create with Acrylic and Oil Paint, on canvas or wood. I believe that feeling one within the work helps my audience truly understand the context within my landscape paintings. I do this through the use of different perspectives, lighting, and interesting color palettes that can attract an audience.
My work comes from a place of expression and passion.
