Carole Klein

She works with acrylics and abstract images that are striking with their rich and inviting colors that reveal form and light in a unique way. She expresses her inner feelings and emotions through her work. Carole started painting with classes at Gavilan College night school and then went on to Monterey Peninsula College . After deciding that abstract acrylic was her favorite style, she took some mixed media painting workshops with Carole Barnes, Elizabeth Palmer and Lauryn Taylor.

Carole is currently a member of ‘ Gallery at Four One Seven ' and ‘ Venture Gallery '. She is also a member and Newsletter/Membership Chairman of CCAA ( Central Coast Art Association), and MPAF. Besides delivering ‘Meals on Wheels' for the Sally Griffin Senior Center, Carole has shown her work there; at the Pebble Beach Post Office, Seaside City Hall, the Pacific Grove Art Center, the Bank of America in Pacific Grove and participated in the Miniature Shows at the Monterey Museum of Art and the PG Art Center.

 The August 2005 Monterey County Fair brought a 1 st Place ribbon and a 3 rd Place ribbon in the abstract acrylic division. This year at the 2006 Monterey County Fair she received two 1 st Place ribbons, one in the juried division. More recently, she has taken workshops from Michael Lindstrom, Robert Burridge, Carole Barnes and Mary Titus.
