Recently showcasing her art in Ponsonby, Auckland, Ontario-born artist Caroline Macfarlane, known as 'Curksta,' draws inspiration from the boldness of life itself. Her work is a dynamic exploration of movement, energy, and colour—capturing the fast-paced rhythm of city streets, the vibrant hues of oceanscapes, and the vivid moments that define our world.

Beyond her own artistic practice, Caroline is deeply passionate about sharing her knowledge and skills with others. As an experienced instructor, she teaches workshops that not only guide students in technique but also encourage them to embrace their unique creative voices.

Through years of study and hands-on experience, she has developed a deep understanding of acrylic painting, composition, and color theory—insights she loves passing on to aspiring artists. For Caroline, art is more than just a visual expression; it’s a way to connect, inspire, and celebrate the beauty found in both the ordinary and the extraordinary.
