“I am native to the Northeast US but have considered the Pacific Northwest my home since 1991.

I hold a BFA (Printmaking & Photography) from The University of Delaware and an MFA from The University of Washington. I have exhibited my visual work in numerous locations including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Seattle and Los Angeles.

The most recent body of work focuses on using monoprinting as a foundation to investigate color, line and transparency. Markmaking, abstraction and repetition are inherent elements of my art. A relationship to imagined landscapes, abstraction, natural ephemera and writing are all common themes in my work.

Drawing/mark making are the impulse of my studio work. I experience and use drawing and writing as a direct, intimate act and language that asks of me, my full attention. I am energized and motivated to experience that conversation through making.

 I use a variety of media and processes in my studio practice including drawing, painting and printmaking. I prefer acrylics, ink and graphite and most often use paper on board as my substrate. 

There are times when a single line and/or shape can feel complete but usually, like words, it’s the accumulation, the layers that makes for meaningful conversations. ” Carol Bolt

“I paint from remembered landscapes that I carry with me—and the remembered feelings of them, which of course become transformed. “  Joan Mitchell
