Welcome back to Finance Fundamentals. This is the interview series, "The Business of Business."

Today's guest is Caroline Stroud.

Caroline was born and raised in Macon, Georgia and earned a business and studio art degree from the University of Georgia.  She now paints at her studio in Decatur during the week and travels around the Southeast painting live wedding paintings most weekends.

Caroline's fine art subject matter is largely influenced by observing wedding guests interact while doing live wedding paintings. Watching guests meet, connect and part ways all in one night inspired her to paint these interactions while adding her own whimsical twist.  Her work is continually inspired by the weddings she attends but has evolved into a larger narrative of turning the mundane into happy moments to be appreciated- seeing the beauty in everything even if it is not immediately apparent.

Sprawling line work, bright colors and the juxtaposition of 2D and 3D elements are the defining characteristics of her work.  Each piece is the perfect combination of untamed and perfectly planned out.
