Caroline Golden is a New York based contemporary collage artist creating hand-cut, dimensional works from vintage paper, found ephemera, antique books, magazines, and painted elements. Working entirely by hand with scissors and glue, she transforms discarded materials into layered narratives that blur the boundary between memory, myth, and imagination.

Each collage is built through a deliberate process of cutting, arranging, painting, and lifting selected elements from the surface, creating subtle depth and shadow. The work draws from fairytales, folklore, domestic interiors, natural history, and the overlooked stories hidden within everyday objects.

Repurposed materials are central to the work, giving forgotten paper a second life while preserving its history. Whether exploring familiar characters, invented worlds, or the invisible forces that shape our lives, each piece invites viewers to slow down, look closely, and discover unexpected connections.

Golden's original collage artwork is held in private collections and has been exhibited nationally and internationally. Her work explores the quiet space where reality and imagination meet, revealing wonder within the ordinary.
