Caroline Margery Dunn was born and raised in England of Scots-Irish heritage. From a young age she can remember loving to draw insects, peoples faces and nature. As a child she can remember feeling quite sure that little creatures lived in some woods near her house, and avidly read any early fairy tales that substantiated this! She attended a Welsh school and then went on to an Art school just outside of London, majoring in illustration.

Upon moving to the USA, Caroline realized just how much she took her upbringing and its ancient surroundings for granted. On trips back to the UK she would spend a lot of time in museums and old churches and found herself fascinated with stone carvings and architecture. She decided to go for her Masters in Art and completed this at Syracuse University in 1994.

For her Masters thesis, Caroline followed the history of the Illustrated border, and was besotted with the Medieval era, which has so much rich complex pattern and detail. Wanting to share her own designs, Caroline started to sell them on mattes, and in time, drew illustrations for prints, cards and t-shirts.

As you browse through this Celtic Fantasy site, please keep in mind that all the art has been created by Caroline's own hand for you to enjoy!
