Watercolor artist. Science Fiction/Fantasy author.
Hi, I'm Carol.
I saw my first watercolor demonstration in 2005. Wow, where had these been all my life? I'm still developing my self-taught technique.
I primarily focus on floral studies and animal portraits. Growing up on a farm in Needmore, Arkansas, I've always been an animal lover. My husband and I currently have four canine children - a miniature dachshund, two old English sheepdogs and a basset hound. They take turns being the cover model on our Christmas card every year and the other three get a new portrait on the inside.
An illness has made creating new works challenging, so I'm making the most of my existing paintings by using them for cards and jewelry. It's a lot of fun and I take pride in making the cutest, funniest items I can.
My paintings are donated twice each year for raffle at the Turkey Track Bluegrass Festival in my hometown of Waldron, Arkansas for cancer research in memory of my mother and a childhood friend. I've donated many custom watercolor pet portraits to rescue organizations.
In other info, I was a mainframe computer programmer for 30 years and I am writing a series of science fiction/fantasy novels.
