Carol is a native of Jackson, MS and has always enjoyed the creative process. After graduating from the University of Mississippi, she studied under various local and national artists as well as attending workshops to enhance and broaden her creative basis. From 2011-2016, Carol served as coordinator and programming director for the Mississippi Museum of Art. Such inspirations led to her joining forces with Sidney Crews to create Collage Studio. Carol has been painting for over 30 years and gathers many of her ideas from surroundings in the Delta, the hills and swamps of Mississippi, and animals.
