Hi, i’m CJ!

I’m An illustratoR & Muralist

My name’s Caroline Josephine Brown, but friends call me CJ (so you can, too). While I’ve been an artist my whole life, in the fall of 2015, I decided to finally stop saying I “doodle” and to start calling myself one. I’m a self-taught artist working in watercolor, colored ink, pen and ink, and digital. I love magical realism and finding the wonder in everyday moments. When I’m not making art, I enjoy surfing, climbing, doing yoga, and reading.
