The ROOSTERGNN Artist Residency in Madrid, Spain, is a selective Artist-in-Residence program that welcomes applications from artists worldwide. We are proud to introduce you to photographer Carolyne Sysmans, who successfully completed an Artist Residency with us in August 2018. Read on to find out more about Carolyne.

Carolyne is a photographer from California and is currently a student at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. She was raised by her Belgian father and Japanese American mother who taught her everything she knows about her heritage and cultures.

Growing up with such a unique background has made her extremely curious to learn more about the world and other cultures. One way to fulfill her curiosity is through traveling, as she loves to capture the diversity of the world through her lens.

Carolyne has always been interested in photography since she was a little girl, but as she gets older, she realizes that this early interest is actually her biggest passion. You will often find Carolyne talking about how simple, yet complex and beautiful the world is.
