​Caroline Eve Romer was born in 1955 in Hertfordshire in England. She grew up in a family of artists, her mother Philippa Romer and her grandmother Hilda Tomson being both portrait painters. The studio atmosphere and the smell of turps were never far away. 

​

Between 1974 and 1978 she studied painting at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. In the summer of 1974 she made her first journey to India, and in 1975 to Morocco. These journeys opened-up a life-long interest in combining her painting with travelling. In 1979 she married and went to live in the heart of the Spanish Pyrenees where she lived for over 30 years. The mountains and their people were always a strong source of inspiration to her work during all that time.
