Carol is an avid support of the veterans current and past. Her visit to Walter Reed Army hospital was so moving words are not enough. She was able to spend 4 days with the wounded and their families. The honor extraordinary to sit with these wonderful young men and women and listen to their story. Feel the honor in their stories and the most astounding thing is no regrets, legs, arms, eyes, faces and on and on missing and no regrets. It was a changing time for Carol.
She enjoys the custom artwork more than any other. Working on a special piece for a memory or a loved one or a lost pet or a place from the past. To have her heart sit in a home to portray something special to someone one gives Carol the most satisfaction.
Carol's ornaments and artwork hang in many homes and businesses throughout the United States and all admire her artwork. Carol's talent knows no boundaries and the diversity is what makes her such a unique artist.
