Mainly an acrylic and oil painter, Caroline Green's professional series consists of personal pet portraits, while her personal series is created from memories and events that stand out in the past and presen
This series is heavily influenced by medicine and the human body, as she has spent a good deal of time in and out of hospitals and doctors' offices (both as patient and as employee). A limited colour palette is used, creating a variety of earthy tones, while inducing a melancholic mood to the overall pieces. By using a dry brush technique, she is able to create a soft, dream-like feel to each piece, much similar to oil painting, only achieved with acrylics. As an animal lover, and artist, she thought she could share her passion for both and celebrate the lives of pets (those still here and those who have passed) by creating portraits of our furry friends.
This series is focused solely on the pet, with emphasis on the facial structure and eyes. Colours are pushed and enhanced to embrace the energy of each pet. Most of these pieces are a combination of oil, acrylic, and wood stain on birch panels. The contrast of the natural wood grain along side the vibrant colours of the pet, enhance the overall feel of each piece.
Caroline believes that art is very therapeutic, as it does not only help her work through her problems, but also helps her figure out what her problems are. She believes this process to be much more cost-effective than going to a professional.
