Majestic Elephant Art
For most of my life, African wildlife has been part of my world, so it was only natural that I’d be inspired to paint and photograph animals and birds. I love all wildlife — I don’t have a single favorite, as each creature has its own unique characteristics that make it special. Elephants are just as amazing as any other animal.

They are mysterious, playful, peaceful, and some are bad-tempered, but they are […]https://carolinestreetblog.wordpress.com/2025/11/02/majestic-elephant-art/
Lino Art: Peace Lilies with a splash of color.
This is my latest creative venture. I needed a break from a large painting that I am working on, and a linocut was just what I needed.

There was one print that I did […]https://carolinestreetblog.wordpress.com/2025/10/24/lino-art-peace-lilies-with-a-splash-of-color/

Wildlife wanders freely, and it is not surprising to see zebra, warthog, antelope, and giraffe in the gardens. […]https://carolinestreetblog.wordpress.com/2024/08/15/zebra-mother-and-foal/

Wherever my spirit leads me.
My name is Caroline Street, and I am from South Africa. This diverse and beautiful country influences everything I put my hand to. My blog posts encapsulate all the work I do, as mentioned below.
