Her career experiences in advertising and fashion led to her colorful, whimsical, signature style focusing on cats with attitude, mandalas and fantasy portraits. Her striking greeting card designs and fanciful calendars have enchanted buyers on several continents.
In addition to her talents as an artist, Carole trained in Music and Piano at Trinity and Royal School of Music in London. She performed for many years as a vocal soloist singing Jazz, Ballads, and songs from Musicals in Five Star Hotels in Australia, New Zealand and on the Gold Coast of Florida.
Much of her experience evolved from her work with major advertising agencies, newspapers and a chain of fashion stores. She has also been a vocal instructor and conducted training workshops. Carole's CD, Sophisticated Lady, is the background music on her website and is available for purchase.
Her work has appeared on the cover of Natural Awakenings Magazine, which featured one of her new fantasy Mandela's. Her most recent art exhibit was at the Manatee Arts Counsel in Bradenton.
When "Tails of American Bronte", a children's book Carole authored featuring her feline was published, she explained to an interviewer that she wrote it to champion the cause of homeless black cats. Black cats are often overlooked for adoption because of superstitions. She invites readers to open their hearts and encourages black cat adoption. Bronte agrees.
Carole currently lives in Bradenton, Florida where she continues to create her art, compose poetry and music, write books and volunteer for the Humane Society. Her love of Cats has inspired much of her work, and her talisman black cat, Miss Bronte continues to inspire her.
Art Harmony tee shirts (available soon) feature Carole's most popular art designs in brilliant colors that won't fade or run. Each piece of art tells a story and was carefully crafted to evoke a mood. The Mandela designs are exact replicas of Carole's larger work but are now available to buyers who seek something out of the ordinary.
The Tee shirts are made of 100% organic cotton. Unlike standard cotton, Art Harmony's organic cotton t-shirts are made from cotton grown without the use of pesticides. Organic cotton is exceptionally soft, biodegradable and hypoallergenic. They have a popular fitted silhouette and added length in the body to make these tees fit well and look terrific. The necklines and sleeves are double stitched for long lasting wear.
Be prepared for people to stop you and say, "Where did you get that beautiful shirt?"
