“We commissioned Caroline to illustrate Evelyn Jess’s “Bare Bones Live” album, and couldn’t be more pleased with the inspiring, joyful artwork she created. Great communicator, dream to work with. Hire her!”
“It’s a delight to work with Caroline—from the first glimmers of a project to its final moments. She’s dedicated, thoughtful, committed, and caring. She always brings her best to any project and works hard to get things right. Her playful and whimsical vision enlivens her artwork, and her kind and engaging manner makes interactions a pleasure. I’ve been thrilled with our collaborations, and look forward to working with her again.”

Hello! My name is Caroline Clarke and I am an illustrator, graphic designer and printmaker based in Newfoundland and Labrador with over 20 years experience. My bright, colourful, often humorous artwork has appeared in books, animated videos, promotional materials, and signage. I’ve also worked in arts administration, marketing, and event coordination.
I have created commissioned works for the CBC, the City of St. John’s, the Newfoundland and Labrador Folk Festival, Canadian Folk Music Awards, Soundbone Traditional Arts Foundation, and Running the Goat Books & Broadsides. My works have been exhibited at the Craft Council Gallery, as well as many local craft and print fairs.
I live with my partner and three cats in downtown St. John’s and I draw inspiration from my day-to-day observations, easily spending hours people-watching with my sketchbook in a café. I’m fascinated by old maps, animals, and the natural world. I thrive on community engagement, volunteering with a number of organizations over the years.
I’m available for commissioned work or collaborations.
