Carol is an impressionist painter in acrylics, oil, and pastel who particularly enjoys the beauty and spiritual connection she feels while interpreting the natural landscape, human figure, animal life, and plant life while using a brush, palette knife, or pastel.

​

For her, art is a sentimental journey...a recording of feelings and an opportunity to show reverence for the beauty and variety of the natural world. I hope to connect with people who share my love of landscape and living things. Through the language of art I can express the joy I feel when creating a magical world of unlimited possibilities for combining colors, shapes, lines, and textures.

​​

Although Carol was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she grew up in the San Fernando Valley of Southern California. After receiving a BA at CSUN in 1972, she moved to the San Francisco Peninsula to work as a Graphic Designer for an ad agency, followed by positions in marketing for high­tech companies. For the last several years Carol have been able to devote more time to her passion for art making, foreign travel, and enjoying memberships in two plein ­air painting groups. As a docent for the San Jose Museum of Art’s “Let’s Look at Art” program Carol brings a very interactive 50 minute art presentation covering the elements of art, and art history into local elementary school classrooms.

Carol has won recognition in local art shows and online competitions. Please visit her website for details, and even better...visit Gallery 9.
