“A work of art is the soul inhaling the colors of passion and getting drunk on the vibrations of diffused light”
Carole’s rich diverse and colorful journey has included the establishing of the first nationally recognized Gallery for the Fiber Arts in San Francisco as well as founding the Apprentice Alliance (a non-profit organization dedicated to placing apprentices with masters in all fields of endeavor).
Most importantly she has had a life-long commitment to creating supportive communities that nourish the wild art spirit in all of us. Her tapestries, sculptural handmade paper works and paintings hang in private collections, hotels, banks, hospitals and corporate offices across the country and around the world.
Since completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts at CCAC in Oakland, she has studied indigenous weaving with Guatemalan natives on the shores of Attitlan, traditional Japanese papermaking in a paper village in Aichi-ken, Japan and in the last 28 years, she has directed her own art school L’Art Vivant in Soreze, a rural French village as well as creating her own art gallery in Collioure on the Mediterranean where Matisse painted.
Currently, she is living and teaching the concept of "life as an art form" between her home in Sebastopol and Princeville, Hawaii.
