At Black Spider Studio , we have a mother-daughter artist studio. Caroline works primarily in oils and pastels and Eliza prefers sculpture, drawing, and computer graphics. However, we are often found dabbling in all sorts of creative projects! Caroline's day job is a public school speech therapist, where there are many opportunities for creativity.
In life, and when possible, through our art, we strive to promote the ethics of 'ahimsa' or non-violence. That means we live a vegan lifestyle, trying to avoid harming other sentient beings whenever possible.
