Caroline Binch was born in Manchester in 1947. She now lives by the sea in
West Cornwall with
two dogs and a cat. Her illustration career is long-lived, but it was not
until 1994 that she branched out and began to write as well.
At the moment
Caroline Binch is spending most of her time painting a little 'more
loosely' in oils.

Caroline gets inspiration from the people and places around her, and
hopes that her stories and pictures will stop and make people think
of the world around them (and to see the positives in life instead of
the negatives).
To relax, Caroline Binch swims in the sea all year, listens to most kinds of
music while working - loves dancing to it loud, walks far and near
with dogs and pals, enjoys yoga, lying in the grass and laughing a
lot.
