Hi! I’m Caroline

Hello, I am glad you’re here! I am Caroline, the artist and small business owner behind Calirado Art. I create unique watercolor pieces inspired by bubbles and elevated with vibrant colors.

From France to California to Colorado, and after a twenty year career in Tech, I feel like Art is kinda my 9th life. I’ve been teaching myself watercolor for the past 5 years.

All my pieces are prints from my hand painted originals - not only is there no AI here, I also limit my digital edits. Imperfect, always unique, sometimes weird.

I’m currently obsessed with bubbles, and how much I can make them express. I’m even working on illustrating a book with them!

You will find my original art and stationary on this site, to help you spread joy and weirdness to the people you love. Unique pieces you didn’t know you needed, to collect, display, or share.

Enjoy!

  • fall foliage in a parking loty

    Colorado parking lots

    Inspired by a stunning Walmart parking lot in October… for real. The theme allows for loose watercolor and high intensity colors. Soon to be a poster collection available on my shop!

  • five postcards depicting delicious seasonal treats

    Delights

    My friend Sam’s beautiful bakes are the original inspo for this series. Very quirky designs and possibly poisonous ingredients, for legal reasons please note that these are not recipes.

    Currently available on my store

  • Moon in a cloudy sky over burning rubble

    I can now see the Moon

    “My barn having burned down, I can now see the moon “ is a quote I carry deep in my chest. I suspect most of us do, don’t we? This is an illustration for a book project coming out in 2026.

  • curious green bubble grow on alien pink soil

    Terraforming

    Beautiful and alien, bubble trees grow on a pink planet. Is it right to terraform? Too late anyway.

    “Terraforming” is a series I have been working on for year and honestly can not get right, so here’s to hopefully a 2026 release
