Caroline Annandale is an American painter and printmaker based in Heidenrod, Germany. Born in Los Angeles in 1983, she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in drawing and painting from Kennesaw State University, Georgia, in 2012. She has also studied with Felix Eckardt on two occasions at the Kunstakademie Bad Reichenhall. Working from her studio in the German countryside, she draws on lived experience to explore the relationships between personal history, memory, and the images we leave behind.

Rooted in representation, her work brings expressive colour and intuitive mark-making to familiar people, places, and moments. Painting and printmaking offer a way of lingering with an experience, giving sustained attention to what time carries away. Nostalgia runs through her practice, alongside an interest in how photographs and digital recordings preserve moments beyond our own remembering. Moving between observation and recollection, her work explores the distance between an experience, its recorded image, and the feeling that remains.
