Born in Limpopo, South Africa

Caro spent her childhood on a thriving citrus farm with her family. This farm, steeped in family history, is the birthplace of the Carrol Boyes factory. It is a place where creativity thrives alongside the wildlife, and inspiration flows as freely as the nearby river.

Surrounded by nature and a legacy of artistry, Caro's upbringing was a rich tapestry of imagination and familial love. She began drawing at a very young age, her sketchbook a constant companion. After school, she would race home, plop down on the veranda, and spend afternoons lost in her drawings, often inspired by her aunt's sculptures.

With every piece she curates, Caro aims to celebrate the harmonious relationship between art and life, hoping to inspire others to find beauty in the everyday. Her goal is to build the Carrol Boyes brand and showcase to the world what South Africans are made of.
