Caitlin Aloisio Shearer has always been preoccupied with defining an idiosyncratic realm in paint and pencil. She works in Melbourne, Australia.
She has a BFA in Fine Arts from the University of Melbourne, 10+ years experience in commercial illustration, and a background in textile and clothing design. Caitlin’s independent clothing label, Caitlin She, existed between the years 2013-2018, consisting of original illustrated textiles and handmade bespoke garments for a devoted coterie of women around the world.
Caitlin is also an assistant at Art Guide Australia, a published poet & the co-founder of design studio Schpritz.
Caitlin is available for freelance and ongoing projects.
