Margo is joined by Toronto based painter, illustrator, and designer Carolyn Gavin. A flower child of the 60’s, Carolyn grew up in South Africa, left to travel and relocated to Canada where she currently lives with her family. She is a principal designer for Ecojot. A family run eco-friendly paper business. She also freelances and licenses her work for fabric, house-wares, packaging, bedding and books. Carolyn works in Gouache, water-colour, pen and ink and her style can be described as vibrant, playful and happy. 

 

Margo and Carolyn discuss:

  • Becoming introspective
  • Why licensing doesn’t solve all problems
  • How Carolyn works through creative blocks
  • Why ‘play’ is so important in life and work
  • Painting bigger 
  • Some of Carolyn’s favorite and standout project
  • And more!

 

Carolyn finds inspiration in travel, flowers, exotic color and pattern, and makes sure her life is filled with beauty and creativity every day.
