Whatever your preference, project or publication –
Caroline would be delighted to discuss options with you.
CdP Illustration began in 1985 in a studio in Shoreditch, London, England.
Caroline initially developed her strong black line and colour style to suit the newspaper industry, with short deadlines and variable paper quality. Many commissions from clients in the Design and Publishing sector, local Councils and businesses enabled her to build a strong and varied portfolio.
An advocate for equality, she was part of the Red Wedge Visual Arts team in the 1980’s and participated in many of the graphic novels and comics of the time, (Crisis, Revolver, Girl Frenzy).
In 1990, CdP Illustration moved to Brighton.
In 2000, Caroline emigrated with her young family to New Zealand, and now lives and works in Picton on the South Island.
