About Carole

Born and raised in California, Carole attended California State College, Stanislaus, San Francisco State University and ultimately University of Washington. Her first career began in 1978 with Pan American Airways.  Following 9/11, after traveling internationally for 23 years, Carole began taking leaves of absence from the airline industry, which allowed her to explore the world of art.  In 2003, Carole began what would become her second career as an oil painter.

Carole had the amazing good fortune to begin painting in a mentorship with renowned landscape artist, Carol Satriani.  Studying with Ms. Satriani from 2003 until 2006, she focused on botanicals, still life and landscapes. Subsequently, she has receive art instruction from Camille LaPointe-Lyons, Kathy Lack at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, Jamie Brunson at California College of Art, plein-air study with Tim Horn, and Eva Bovenzi at UC Berkeley Extension. 

Carole began exhibiting her work in 2005. She shows her work at MAC Spring Open Studios,  Smith Ranch Studios Winter Open Studios and Studio Gallery San Francisco.

In August 2008, Carole retired and now devotes herself to painting full time.  She paints in #11 at Smith Ranch Studios and lives with her husband and two children in San Rafael.
