Carole has been creating art most
of her life, experimenting with many mediums. In 1970 she began
to sculpt, first in clay then stone. She says she found stone
mesmerizing and never thought she would go to any other medium.
Many years later she found her way
to San Miguel de Allende for a few months. She fell in love with
the beautiful artist colony and the process of making bronze
sculpture. Carole returned home to continue her bronze work at
Palomar College under the direction of Ron Young. She has two
bronze public art pieces in her hometown of Vista, California.
She says her work is a combination
of what she sees and what she feels.

“I do art because it is inside and
needs to come out. I am on the far side of middle age and do not
know where the time went. There is however, a positive aspect to
age— experience. Life touches you with much beauty if you allow
it.
I have little formal training, but
I do have a PhD in Life. I love texture, form and negative
space and I try to leave something to the imagination— to make
you think, or in the very least to make you smile.
What next? I will go wherever the
spirit moves me.”
—Carole
