Caroline Boylston (b. 1969) paints thick layers of acrylic onto small blocks of wood, rendering flowers, leaves, and branches that hum with the echoes of different colors. Her paintings, which render plants as little friends, capture the aliveness of the natural world. Caroline lives on the Kennebec River in Maine, where she is a member of Spindleworks; she loves lemon tea, raspberry muffins, and karaoke. See more Caroline here.
