Known for servicing clients with highly discerning tastes, from Atherton to La Jolla and beyond, Carol’s work has always lived at the intersection of material luxury and deep visual storytelling. Her background includes decades of creating one-of-a-kind pieces for high-earning individuals, with her art and designs featured prominently in luxury design magazines.
In 2021, Carol was called to embark on an intensive, five-year journey through depth psychology and esoteric symbol systems—subjecting her life and art to a rigorous inner crucible. Her current portfolio, including her ongoing Jungian Individuation Series, serves as the living, painted artifact of what she retrieved from that underworld journey.
On her 63rd birthday, following a profound personal threshold of soul reclamation, Carol fully stepped into her role as a psychopomp—a guide through the deeper layers of the psyche. Her work is a testament to survival, boundaries, and the transmutation of shadow into gold. Today, she brings this rare convergence of disciplines to elite desert spaces, helping others cross their own major life thresholds safely, cleanly, and confidently.
The Roots of the Magic
Her influences are as layered as her work: René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Judith Leiber, and Pete Townshend of The Who. And Mrs. Hershberg—her first-grade teacher—who was the first person to see it. To see her. The girl who combined pictures with stories and couldn't stop. Carol was six years old when she understood, with complete certainty, that this was her destiny.
At eleven, she sat in a movie theater and watched Tommy. The surreal imagery, the symbolism, the raw power of the unconscious mind made visible—it never left her.
This innate capacity to translate human emotion onto physical walls eventually drew the attention of regional media, including a featured profile by Sacramento’s NBC affiliate (KCRA 3) documenting her transformative mural projects (0:06). For Carol, painting has never been about simply covering a blank wall; it has always been about altering the energy of a room and stirring the human heart (0:24).
In the final months of her life, the legendary feminist artist, master printer, and founder of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop, June Wayne, recognized Carol’s distinct power and offered her direct mentorship. That gift—given so close to the end of a legend's life—is the beating heart behind everything Carol is building now. She intends to honor it.
