Carol has a diverse background in the arts. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Carnegie Mellon University, a Certificate in Art Therapy from St. Albans College of Art and Design in England, and a Masters of Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

She has studied art in NYC (Bob Blackburn’s Printmaking Workshop) and London, England (with Cecil Collins and at the Central School of Art); illustrated a children’s book, How Music Came to the World, received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to study video art at the Anderson Ranch in Colorado; and worked as a free-lance video editor and producer.

Carol taught media arts at Newton South High School for 30 years, including a variety of courses such as video, 3D imaging, and 3D animation, web design, game design, and Photoshop. She once vowed she would never get involved with computer graphics, much less teach it, but somewhere along the way, she fell in love with it. She has recently returned to drawing, painting and collage.
