Caroline Goldsmith is a Dual Citizen of Australia and USA. Born in the city of Sydney Australia 1964. Goldsmith was busy creating since the age of three. Teachers reported on her love of color and line. At 18 she started her professional art career with an art apprenticeship with Miadna publishing company. Goldsmith studied fine art at East Sydney Technical College, now called The National Art School, at night while working as a finished artist during the day. Completing two years of drawing and color and design with honors. 

1997 Goldsmith emerged onto the professional Sydney art scene and exhibited in juried shows winning several awards and enjoyed recognition when she was recommended to apply for membership to the Royal Art Society. Goldsmith applied in 1998 and was accepted by the North Sydney Council. Subsequently, Goldsmith displayed and sold her work at Lavender Bay Art Gallery North Sydney as an exhibiting member of the Royal Art Society. 

Goldsmiths art world was uprooted when she moved to USA in May 2000 with her husband and daughter. Another decade later Goldsmith joined the Monticello Arts Council and re-emerged with a successful solo exhibition of landscapes at Red House Gallery, Monticello Illinois. She rallied with other plein air painters and found a community of artists in her own hometown. She has encouraged plein air practices and gatherings of professional artists to support each other and grow as artists together through her local arts council. An important part of Caroline’s development as a painter has been her continuing education, studying with and applying, the teachings of master plein air and studio oil painters. She is committed to painting full-time.

Goldsmith is an impressionistic oil painter. She has a beautiful use of color and tonal interplay with great abstract shapes and brushwork. Viewers experience feelings of happiness and are left with an appreciation of the beauty and awe that surrounds us every day on this earth. Caroline says she expects her work to be appealing, sensitive and have an inherent romance and or gorgeousness about it. More recently Caroline is experimenting with abstraction to create stronger moods and feelings in her work. 

Caroline Goldsmith Artist Statement

I work as an impressionistic oil landscape painter. Stimulated by the contrasts, colors, sights, scents, and sounds when being outdoors and expressing my response in my art while painting on site is the driving force behind each painting.
