Carole began her professional career as an Art Director in the film industry. During that period, she began to explore being a fine artist. With relentless determination and a dedication, Carole studied the work of European Masters, the Early California Impressionists and the Taos Masters, internalizing their expertise as a means to finding her own artistic voice.

Her first professional exhibit was in 1997 at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach.  Soon after, she became an Artist Member of the California Art Club and a Signature Member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters. Despite these achievements, Carole became disenchanted with the growing urban sprawl in her native California and in 2001 she moved to Pagosa Springs, Colorado.

     As an artist she is privileged to explore locations most people will never visit. Carole’s passion is to paint images that show the beauty she finds in these remote locations. Her hope is that these images will encourage her viewers to join in efforts to preserve this vanishing treasure.

     Carole has been a participant for many years in the Masters of the American West at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles, CA, Western Visions at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, WY., Settler’s West American Miniatures in Tuscon, AZ and Cheyenne Frontier Days Art Show in Cheyenne, WY. She has been featured in Southwest Art and Art of the West magazines.
