An active contemporary fine artist for many years, Carol is thrilled to now offer her art and design to the surface design industry for use on paper products, consumer products, gifts, fabric and accessories.

Professionally trained in both fine art and textile design, Carol is skilled in rendering hand drawn and hand painted imagery in both tight and loose styles.  Adept at creating design coordinates and collections, Carol designs are contemporary with a nod to vintage and the classics.

She holds a BA in Studio Art from Boston College and further studied at Massachusetts College of Art and Rhode Island School of Design. Carol’s specialties include contemporary designs inspired by Japanese sumi painting and calligraphy, fusing her western fine art education with ten years of study with renowned Japanese calligraphy and sumi painting masters. Carol completed the surface pattern and textile design program at The California School of Professional Fabric Design and also taught drybrush and botanical watercolor workshops to textile design students for three years.

Originally from the northeastern US, and currently based in San Francisco, California, Carol’s eastern art influences were further developed during her seven-year residencies in Tokyo and Taipei. She has had numerous solo and group shows in America, Japan, and Taiwan. Her fine art is in private collections in over 15 countries in Europe, Asia and America.
