In the past seven years she has exhibited in over thirty-eight juried shows and has been recognized with several first place awards. The State Botanical Gardens and Callaway Gardens held solo shows of her work in Georgia. Artcandy Editions featured her work at Décor Expo Atlanta, and the next year Omega Molding exhibited Carolyn's paintings at Art Expo, Chicago.
Carolyn works from her studio in Bradenton and teaches acrylics and mixed media at Art Center Manatee in Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch.
Her work is available at Art Uptown Gallery in Sarasota FL, and the Raiford Gallery in
Roswell, GA.
She holds a degree in art education from Auburn University and has taken numerous workshops from nationally known artists.
"What moves me to paint are the unnoticed miracles abundant in nature. I am intrigued by looking close-up and painting intimate views."
