Each of Carol’s photographs represents one component of a self-portrait – the emotional, physical, sexual, interpersonal, and spiritual parts of herself. Each print symbolizes a part of the whole, and when viewed together they mirror the essence of Carol – what she believes, and how she views her inner and outer worlds. Each print tells a story, shares a mood, or implies an action taking place – hinting at the mystery and magic of the external world and the energy and creativity of the inner world. As such her world speaks a universal language of symbolism. Color, glowing light and moving energy are key elements to her expressive photography. Her desire is to invoke an emotional or spiritual response in the viewer, a response that will take the viewer to a place of awakening and awareness.
Carol’s photographs are taken with a digital camera and enhanced in her computer. These enhancements – while maintaining the integrity of the image – accentuate the mood, meaning, and symbolism of her vision. Each photograph is printed on white paper, leaving a boarder, which allows room for the photograph to be set off by an appropriate frame. Carol’s photographs are printed with archival inks on archival paper – having a rated life-span of 75-100 years.
