“Where does Art begin and where does it end?”I believe that I am a continuation of artist before me, and I am part of the process and the evolution of art.
Being an artist has given me a voice and with that voice gives me power, and with that power gives me responsibility and accountability. As an artist I must decide upon and establish my vision that truly represents my creative goals and to make those choices that include subject matter that best reflects what I want to say. As self-taught artist, we make choices of what we want to learn and what we want to accept. It is about paying attention to our surroundings and accepting those gifts from the universe or from god.
The journey as an artist has not been easy, the growing pains that an artist must go through is uncomfortable and joyous at the same time. I now understand why parents don’t want their children to become artist, but mom and dad it has made me a better person. With all the sacrifice and hardship I have no regrets. I know that this is what I am supposed to be doing with my life, and where it takes me I do not know, but I have faith.
All I really want is to be able to participate in this world, alive or dead the universe will decide.

As a child with Apraxia you learn to sit on the sideline and watch the world go by. I decided at the age of fifty, that was not going to be me any longer. I gave myself twenty years to become a great artist. Setting out to find a voice, my path took me out of the mediocrity of my established ethos. Thank god.

As a child with Apraxia you learn to sit on the sideline and watch the world go by. I decided at the age of fifty, that was not going to be me any longer. I gave myself twenty years to become a great artist. Setting out to find a voice, my path took me out of the mediocrity of my established ethos. Thank god.
If physics follows the same laws of physics, then art should follow the same laws of art. This has become my road map. I discovered how art and the spirituality of science helps with loneliness. Have you ever been in a room with a 100 people and felt lonely, but you can go outside in nature and feel connected. I read somewhere that eye contact was more important than touch. So when the loneliness set in, I shut my studio door and went outside. I would sit in the park and purposely feel the trees and plants, say hello to the birds and the bugs.
Therefore my intention is to bring the essence of nature through the complex nature of quantum physics through my art.
This is how I have found value in the world.

Carol Jean was born to be an artist. It was obvious at an early age that Carol possessed above average artistic talents. When given her first box of crayons Carol elected to actually color with them, instead of inserting them in nasal orifices or eating them. During her impressionable teen years, her parents (June and Ward Cleaver) tried to shelter her from the underbelly of the art world (Hippies.) However, she soon discovered the value of the art world that she was being denied. Her destiny had been painted. After many art classes she discovered her own box of paints, she has been experimenting with paints ever since.
In retrospect, Carol had many signs that she was fated to become an artist that went unrecognized for years. For example;• She drove by the California Art Institute daily for 3 years.• Her first painting was stolen and then recovered from Henry Mayo Psychiatric Hospital, a sure reflection on her value as an artist.• A palm reader predicted her career as an artist on her 21st birthday.
It was on her 50th birthday that she had an awakening to her true calling as an artist. Since then she has painted over 300 pieces of work. In 2007 she was selected for the Peoples Choice Award at the Steamboat Art Council’s 25th Emerald Show.
Her personal goals include:• living a long and fruitful life, (100+) and still painting daily• dancing at live rock roll concerts (front and center)• creating art that inspires others to be connected to the world
