Caprice McNeill is a multidisciplinary artist based in North Carolina whose work holds space—both physically and emotionally. Drawing on the structure of courtyards and enclosed gardens, she explores interiority, sacred space, and emotional resonance through layered surfaces and openings she thinks of as breathing areas—sites of rest, contemplation, and protection.

Flowers are her visual language. Whether abstract or representational, they draw viewers in with beauty while also pointing to impermanence, vitality, and the complexity of emotion. Even in her most abstract works, floral forms guide color, shape, and tone. Their arrangements influence how each piece is perceived and experienced, reflecting the dialogue between what is revealed and what is kept within. Titles serve as an essential part of this process, offering viewers a point of entry to imagine their own stories.

McNeill studied graphic design at the College of Design at NC State University, where she developed a strong foundation in composition and visual structure. A lifelong love of gardens—and their spatial logic, containment, and sensory richness—deeply informs her practice. Recent study of contemporary painting techniques during an extended stay in Florence, Italy, along with additional travel there, has heightened her sensitivity to color and form while making “place” an essential guiding force in her work.
