Carol has participated in intensive outdoor workshops given by Gregory Kondos (through the Monterey Museum of Art), Joe Mugnani, Gil Dellinger and others. She continues to work with well-known local artist Dick Crispo,who has been a significant influence on her seascape paintings.
Carol enjoys working from a live model as well as a still life, but her present focus is on en plein aire landscape and seascape painting. In her work Carol strives to create a mood and sense of place in a rather impressionistic manner while using a palette geared toward local color. She is a member of the Monterey Peninsula Art Foundation, Artist's Equity, an associate member of Oil Painters of America and is a docent at the Monterey Museum of Art. Carol can be found most days painting in her studio in the Carmel Highlands or on location anywhere on the Monterey Peninsula.
