Artist Statement:

Carol says, "I love to paint, because I paint what I love." - Carol's love of nature combined with the beauty of our natural surroundings is a constant inspiration for her pastel paintings. The subjects she paints are places and things that are close to her heart.

She sees beauty everywhere and hopes that her paintings convey this to the viewer.
