Carol creates art in several mediums, including drawing, clay, and encaustic painting.  Her large-scale drawings may be in graphite or colored pencil.  Dreamlike images, rich with patterning, invite the viewer to form their own interpretation as to its meaning.  Her clay sculptures are generally figurative, often nearly life size.  For these works, Carol uses a mix of clay, wire, wood and paper, as well as found objects such as old metal fittings and rusty gears, to create original wall pieces or free-standing artwork.  Recently, Carol has begun working in encaustic painting as well, using wax-based paints to create mixed-media collages.

After earning her BFA from Kent State, Carol worked in graphics and advertising for several years.  Looking for something a bit more creative, she later found work as a designer of giftware and character dolls for an import company.  She continues to explore many other artistic venues, including textiles, jewelry, and illustration, and painting.

Carol is a signature member of the Colored Pencil Society of America.  Her work has been in dozens of juried shows across the country, including the Oregon School of Arts and Crafts, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and in galleries from Florida to California.

In 2009, her colored pencil drawing was chosen as the official poster for the National Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington DC.
