Neurotypical?

(Brain functions in the way society expects)

The question mark stands for never wanting to be what society expects.

Caroline says, ‘my brain definitely does not work how it is expected to!’

Where her inspiration used to come from nature and organisms, it now comes from a more internal perspective/natural intuition and over the last few years Caroline’s work has been focused on healing through painting.

Having suffered for many years with chronic headaches, her art has become a therapeutic necessity. She tries to bring colour and joy to confusion and pressure that is internalised.

Caroline is intrigued by brain function and Neurodiversity. Neurodiversity is the natural variation in how human brains work and process information. How our brains are wired differently in terms of how we process information, communicate and sense the world. 

The paintings aim to show confusion, chaos, memory problems and loss. Contrasting between the hardest times and moments of levity and peace.

Using the medium of acrylic paint on canvas to achieve saturation of colour and vibrancy she often inserts monochrome or neon aspects to disturb the colour harmony, creating her own inner surreal landscapes and visual mind maps. 

There can be beauty from even the darkest places.

Caroline’s paintings can be hung any way, whichever pleases the viewer.
