Carol Sebold lives on the coast of Maine, surrounded by and inspired by some of the world's most breathtaking scenery. Her watercolors and oils of coastal fishing villages and their boats, as well as her evocative landscapes of the New England countryside, speak of the singular beauty of this corner of the world.

On her far-reaching travels, Carol seeks out and paints other special places where nature's palette and perspective are as stunning, in their own way, as they are in Maine. Among these are the islands of the Caribbean, for which she has developed a particular affinity.

More atmospheric than realistic, Carol's watercolors begin with sketches and photographs done on location. Later, employing a wet technique on rag paper, she developes them into full-blown paintings. Her fragile brush-work, created through a delicate building of thin layers of watercolors, suggests the impressionistic while subtly reatining a quality of nature. Carol's style also lends itself to treatment in oils. In addition, she enjoys exploring the possibilities of the abstract through the use of mixed media, primarily acrylic or watercolor combined with a variety of fibers.

Carol has taught throughout her career, sharing her artistic vision and helping her students harness their own talents. She taught for several years in Ohio and southern Michigan, and currently conducts summertime workshops aboard one of Maine's famous windjammers, "Angelique", and teaches classes, on the Maine coast under the auspices of the highly regarded Wooden Boat School.

Carol's work has been selected for many juried shows and is exhibited in galleries throughout the eastern United States and the Caribbean. Numerous private and corporate collections both in America and abroad also include her work.

To make her art as accessible as possible, she has re-created selected original paintings as fine limited-edition prints, and they are available as numbered prints, signed by the artist.
