My Story
Making art between raising kids and working a day job
Hi, my name is Caroline. I have always loved art and all things artsy. The Colorful Engineer originally started as a blog to record my various artistic activities- anything from painting, to photography, to gardening, to crafting. I work on my art part-time while, by day, I work in my field of training: engineering. The name Colorful Engineer gives a nod to both my current profession and hobby.
As time has passed, and particularly with the addition of two small children, I’ve focused most on my painting. Of course there’s always time for an art project with the kids too!
My preferred technique is oil on canvas but also find myself using watercolors more and more. I am inspired by the world around me and have always strived for realism in my paintings.
I appreciate you visiting!
