She has over 50 years of experience, selling her first piece at the age of 14.  She earned her BFA in Design at Swain School of Design in New Bedford in 1972.

Her work is included in collections worldwide.  Carol has illustrated one trade book (Baby Bunny's Busy Day), one privately published book for St. Anne's School in Colorado, an alphabet book (A Fine Book of Letters) and an anecdotal book: 'Pearls' - as in 'pearls of wisdom'.
