About Me
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. Previously working as part of in-house marketing teams, I went out on my own in 2024, and now freelance full-time . 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. My artwork can be found in public and private collections.
I’ve been a finalist for the City of St. John’s Artist of the Year Award and am the founder of the Urban Sketchers St. John’s group. I thrive on community engagement, volunteering with a number of organizations over the years.
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’m available for commissioned work or collaborations.
