Caroline Stirling is an Artist/Illustrator living and working in Melbourne. Inspired by the small things, the clever quips, eavesdropping a random line, an excellent sentence, and Bob Dylan, Caroline works with various materials, although her true loves are black lead pencil, acrylic paint, modelling compound and charcoal. 'LINA' is a nickname used by an old employer, funnily enough, the shortened version of another nickname, and is a lot easier to sign. I've noted a hell of a lot less spelling mistakes.
Working from a studio that is slowly taking over her apartment, Caroline dreams of the day when she has enough space to have friends over to eat at a dinner table.
There is a pretty good chance that she drinks far too much tea and she misses her old Corolla immensely.
