The paintbrush is an extension of Carolyn’s heart. It is the instrument that she uses to create colorful visual adventures for her viewers and herself. Her paintings are planned purposefully and executed intuitively employing the unique qualities of water based pigments.
Landscapes, flowers, architectural structures and life experiences provide inspiration for her artistic expression. Ultimately Carolyn’s process is only a means to an end, which is to create work that lifts the spirit and takes the viewer on a joyful journey.
