Carol has a diverse background in the arts. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Carnegie Mellon University, a Certificate in Art Therapy from St. Albans College of Art and Design in England, and a Masters of Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

She has studied art in NYC (Bob Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop) and London, England (with Cecil Collins and at the Central School of Art); illustrated a children’s book, How Music Came to the World, received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to study video art at the Anderson Ranch in Colorado; and worked as a free-lance video editor and producer.

Carol taught media arts at Newton South High School for 30 years, including a variety of courses such as video, 3D imaging, and 3D animation, web design, game design, and Photoshop. She once vowed she would never get involved with computer graphics, much less teach it, but somewhere along the way, she fell in love with it. She has recently returned to drawing, painting and collage.

About this website

I set out to create a website that would function as a chronological visual memoir, but I soon realized that it had become more of a collection of short stories told in color, line, shape, and texture. I kept adding categories, moving pieces from one to another. No sooner did I think I had the categories down than I realized, “No, that’s not it at all!” And then I would re-shuffle them. 

At times, it seemed almost random. Like I could come back the next day and shift everything to a totally new configuration - and it would make just as much (or as little) sense. But it’s been an interesting exercise in organizing my current thoughts.
