Artist’s Statement
Discovering watercolor painting is one of the most significant events in my life. It is a great joy to be able to capture the exquisite beauty of flowers and their delicate colors and structure. An added joy is sharing my love of that beauty with so many wonderful people who have come into my life as a result of my art. I feel a deep and meaningful connection with people and nature through my ability to paint. I do, indeed, feel blessed! It is a joy for which I never cease being grateful.

About The Artist
Carolyn has been painting watercolors since 1986. She is self-taught and works mainly in florals, botanicals and still life paintings. She is inspired by the work of noted watercolorists Sondra Freckleton and Susan McKinnon and has studied with them. In 1989, she left a career as a health educator to pursue art full time.

Her award-winning work has appeared in over 70 regional, national and international exhibitions and festivals. Over 65 of her watercolors are published as greeting cards and other fine papers. Her Museum Quality Series limited edition prints are now available. Her New York Publisher’s Series open edition prints are distributed worldwide. She has painted commissions for Saratoga Horticultural Research Foundation and private collectors. Her work and commentary appear in three editions of "American Artist Watercolor" magazine. She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from San Diego State University. After living most of her life in San Diego and the Bay Area, she now makes her home and studio in Lake Wildwood located in the Western Sierra Nevada Foothills of Northern California.
