She is enthused by the vibrancy of the watercolor medium and the transparency of color on paper. Her paintings convey a sense of color and light and capture the essence of her subjects in a style of impressionist realism. Carol also enjoys Asian sumi-e style painting using bamboo brushes on rice paper to create floral and insect motifs. Her watercolor and pastel still life and landscapes paintings reflect character, texture, color and mass. Her travels to France, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, England and throughout the United States provide a range of work that has been represented in shows in New York City, Chicago, Wisconsin and California. She has won many awards for her work and has been honored for one of her watercolors from the National Academy of Design Museum in New York City.
