Carol has been an artist and calligrapher for over 40 years. While exploring all kinds of mediums like oils, pastels, acrylics, sculpture and even various kinds of crafts, Carol always came back to her love of the letter form and the use of watercolor to compliment the words. She became a member in many local, national and international art guilds and organizations. In the 1980’s she began doing as many as 26 art shows and exhibits, juried and nonjuried, every year and developed her own clientele.
While accumulating many awards and recognition’s she began speaking and doing demonstrations on TV and to local groups. Since then, she has owned three Art Galleries, a Gift Shop and a Coffee Shop, all of which exhibited and sold her artwork. Since 1995 Carol has been working form her studio at home on many corporate and personal commissions as well as a calligraphy book of original religious poems written by Gerald Headd. She has also written a cookbook of her family recipes and all the illustrations and calligraphy are done by her. Her medium usually consists of watercolors, inks, gouaches for miniatures and acrylics on canvas. Her acrylics are bright, bold and colorful and in some cases she gives them a three demensional effect. She has always been inspired by Georgia O'Keefe.
One of her pieces was a winner in the Graceful Envelope Contest and was on exhibit at the Smithsonian in 2003.
Carol now has a Gift Shop online with affordable items such as journals, calendars, mugs, t-shirts, coasters, keepsake boxes, framed prints and more all with her artwork on them. Stop by and see. They make great gifts. http://www.csabo.com/giftshop 'Art by Carol'
