CAROLINE MACFARLANE grew up in Kensington Market, developing a deep love for coffee, vintage clothes and graffiti at an early age. Her serious love for art began at the age of eleven when she saw a Keith Haring show at the Art Gallery of Ontario. She studied Art History at Queen’s University before heading to Europe and then to Australia, where she worked at Annandale Galleries in Sydney. Soon after, she taught English in Korea and traveled within Asia for a year. After completing her MA Art History degree at the University of Toronto, she started work as a Programs Coordinator for the OCAD U Student Gallery. Caroline is happiest when taking photographs, listening to music with bass, biking, dancing and sipping hot drinks.
