Born and educated in the Netherlands, Caroline Mars has studied and worked in Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Seoul for 20 years.  She graduated from the Art Academy of Leiden (The Netherlands) and earned certificates in Advanced Chinese Painting (Hong Kong) and from the Sogetsu School of Ikebana (Tokyo).

Drawing on the five elements central to Asian philosophy – wood, fire, earth, metal and water – she attempts to temper the clutter and stress of modern life with minimalist composition and simple forms, incorporating her Asian studies of Chinese painting and Ikebana into her innovative body of work.
