Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Carolyn demonstrated her artistic inclinations at a young age. She was dubbed the “arty child” by her parents. It was not surprising to friends and family when she received her college degrees in art. Upon graduation, she accepted a teaching position at a local school district on Long Island where she taught art for more than 30 years. In addition to teaching youngsters she left her mark by painting large murals on the walls of the schools. During her tenure she received many awards and honors both locally and statewide which attest to her remarkable career.
Today Carolyn calls Sanford, North Carolina home. There she maintains a studio where she works in watercolor, oil, and acrylic paints. Choosing to share her passion and to inspire others, Carolyn teaches classes, helping others develop their own individual talent.
Carolyn’s paintings have been accepted into many juried competitions and have garnered numerous awards. Included in private and corporate collections throughout the United States, her paintings have received much acclaim. Currently she is a member of Oil Painters of American and the Sanford Brush and Palette Club.
