Caroline Dahlmanns strives to capture the essence of her subjects with sensual texture, balancing representation with an abstract visual vocabulary. Her inspiration comes from all over: the beauty of a particular gesture, luminous light, the feel and energy of a tender encounter with another and the physical beauty of her surrounding landscapes. Most of all, she strives to communicate the essential energy of a moment. Her works are in private collections in North America, Europe, and Asia, and she loves to share her joy for art through teaching.
