I'm largely self-taught as a watercolor artist.
With a BA in English/Fine Arts
from Colgate University and
MS in Environmental Studies
from Antioch University New England,
I have long considered
the meaning of place.
Local art teachers have repeatedly introduced
new techniques and energy
into my practice.
I love considering my home
in New London, NH
from the perspective of my painting.
My Story
I've been drawing tiny whimsical figures
in imaginatively rendered settings
since childhood.
From my earliest undertakings--
notecards, after-school projects, holiday gifts--
to my most recent maps,
my style has remained light of heart and touch.
Exhibits
Caroline Bouton Designs
I'm consistently most content
when working with focus at home.
I savor opportunities to be
absorbed in a project,
surprised by time's passage
and so satisfied that
I've transferred an idea onto paper.
