Caroline Havers - painter
Specific shapes, a striking color combination, or the rhythms in nature can act as a trigger point to start a work. From there on the paints and brushes take over. Still somewhat true to their origins, the shapes, colors, and forms are balanced and re-arranged.
A steady development in letting go and morphing into her own language inventions and storytelling. Caroline’s work is constantly in development, it has been a trip from touch and go from highly realism towards an almost abstract expressionism this all tossed with a contagious enthusiasm for all the inventions in nature.

Caroline could have stopped pushing a long time ago. Most would have. She is one of the finest artists I know and she's an ongoing inspiration to me and many others. I feel very fortunate to be a part of her daily art-making life ... and have no qualms admitting that much of my work is impacted by her sensibilities, taste,. intellect and know-how. I would be less than I am having not been exposed to her visual voice. I consider interaction with her a blessing. Lee Kaloidis
