Carolyn Molder Bio:

Drawing has always been a part of my life, but serious artwork began when I moved to the mountains of North Carolina.  The love of painting has continued and led to Plein Air events (painting outside) and Juried shows in both Watercolor and Pastel.  I am a signature member of the Georgia Watercolor Society and the Alabama Pastel Society.  My work is in several galleries in Georgia and North Carolina. I taught pastel classes for 9 years at the John C Campbell Folk School in Murphy, NC. My current studio is in Perry, Fl.
