CAROLINE BOYKIN
Meet Caroline
Caroline Reehl Boykin is a fine artist based in Raleigh, North Carolina who is inspired by the spirit of everyday life. Elements of nature, architecture, and form combine in many mediums, resulting in layered works and unique color interactions that capture the viewer, bringing them into a conversation of life and movement. Through intentional use of porcelain, acrylic paint, and gold and silver leaf, Caroline delivers multi-dimensional works that transcend a subject and allow the viewer to decipher meaning.
Boykin has always loved to create. Her childhood on the Alabama coast cultivated her enchantment with art and southern culture. Touches of this admiration of Southern hospitality and grandeur are seen today through her work. A summer of studying figure drawing in Florence, Italy led Caroline to the realization that being an artist was in her bones. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Mississippi in 2005 where her focus was ceramics, but she has a true passion for all mediums in art. Caroline has been creating professionally for over 15 years. She is inspired by her everyday surroundings in Raleigh and the land she grew up amongst in rural Alabama.
Caroline's work has been published and featured in major publications including Elle Decor, Southern Living, Flower, Luxe Interiors, along with many others. Her artwork can be found in noteworthy private collections and adorning the walls of thousands of happy homes all over the US.
