Caroline Walls

Caroline Walls is a contemporary artist whose practice explores the female psyche, intimacy, and connection through painting. Working with a restrained palette and delicate layers of oil, her works evoke a quiet tension between figure and fabric, where drapery becomes a symbolic extension of the female form. Informed by her perspective as a queer woman, her paintings weave together personal, historical, and imagined narratives, creating spaces that are at once interior and otherworldly.

Walls completed an Honours degree in Visual Communication and Design at Swinburne University of Technology, before spending extensive time living abroad, between London and New York. On return to Australia she completed post-graduate studies in contemporary visual arts at the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) and currently lives and works in Melbourne.

NOW SHOWING

SHE ONCE WAS

She Once Was traces the quiet, lingering spaces where womanhood, memory, and connection meet. In these paintings, draped fabrics – translucent veils – become extensions of the female figure, shifting between presence and absence. The window theme sits at the centre of this, acting as a site of longing, reflection, and possibility. It’s a place where light enters – where we pause to look out and inward at the same time. A symbolic representation of the threshold between inner and outer worlds – a container of feeling – between what is held close and what is allowed to drift beyond reach.
