Carole grew up in Southern California with a family tradition of musical excellence, playing piano by age 5, but her primary interest was always visual arts. An avid international traveller, she lived in many US cities as well as London, England; always seeking out art museums and galleries. After a lifetime of supporting the arts, continuous studies in art and a twenty-year banking career she decided to pursue her passion in visual arts on a traditional academic level by enrolling at Laguna College of Art + Design.
