Romaine Kaufman was born in South Africa. The very beginning of her creativity came as a child of four years old. Romaine loved to draw, color with crayons and colored pencils and was inspired to paint with watercolors. Romaine lived her formative years in Australia. There she entered the Conservatorium of Music in Sydney (Sister school to the Julliard School in New York) where she was being trained as a concert pianist. The real inspiration came in the direction of painting and focused on the great artists and their passion to paint. Romaine studied painting at the West Australian Institute of Technology, now Curtin University in Perth, Western Australia and had her first solo art show at eighteen years old. Her drawings and paintings were exhibited in one of Western Australia's most prominent Galleries. The Lord Mayor of Perth, Sir Thomas Wardle opened one of her the exhibitions and bought a painting titled "Yellow Flowers" for his Chambers at Perth's Council House. After the Show, Romaine came to a crossroads in her life and with careful deliberation decided to pursue painting over music performance.
