I feel most successful as an artist when I am able to balance life's daily challenges and still feel inspired to create art at the end of the day.  I feel a Higher Power leading me to be creative and as a result I feel very blessed that I am in His Grace.  I am following my dream by creating works of art  that enlighten me and that reflect my life's  journey.   I really do believe that every single person on this planet has an ability to create change in the world  but no one knows exactly how they will actually make a difference in life ~ and that is part of the mystery of life.  I am a wife, mother, daughter, sibling and caring human-being.  I hope to learn and grow as an artist, and to make a mark in humanity in a positive way before the end of my journey.     Carol, 2010

My fascination with Dragonflies:  The meaning of a dragonfly changes with each culture. The main symbolisms of the dragonfly are renewal, positive force and the power of life in general.  Dragonflies can also be a symbol of the sense of self that comes with maturity. Also, as a creature of the wind, the dragonfly frequently represents change.  And as a dragonfly lives a short life, it knows it must live its life to the fullest with the short time it has - which is a lesson for all of us.
