In 1996, she started painting in watercolors, a couple of years later in acrylics and later in oils. She has studied with Lian Zhen, Van Waldron, Charles Waldman, Gary Bergren, and Fealing Lin. In 2011 Carolyn moved to Sebastopol in Sonoma County, California. Prior to that Carolyn had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, primarily in Walnut Creek, where she worked as a community college computer instructor.

She likes the luscious quality of oil paint and its ability to create soft edges. Her style is colorful, loose and Impressionistic. Carolyn particularly enjoys landscape oil painting en plein air, capturing a scene’s light, shadows and color. Visit her painting blog at http://cjarvisartist.wordpress.com.
