By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the second of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American landscape painter Carol Jenkins (born 1947 in Stoneham, Massachusetts).
 

As a child, Carol Jenkins’ home was filled with the beautiful paintings of her artist great grandmother whose resume included painting “en plein air” in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the 1890’s. Inspired and encouraged by her creative Massachusetts family, she always knew she wanted to be an artist.
 

Carol received the prestigious National Scholastic Art Scholarship while in high school providing the opportunity to extensively study painting at the prestigious School of the Museum of Fine Art in Boston.
 

Struck with a bit of wanderlust in her early twenties, Carol headed west and discovered the raw beauty of the Rocky Mountains. She quickly settled in the historic mining town of Ward, Colorado where she lives to this day— always motivated to create by the majestic mountains and the mosaic of rustic old buildings that surround her home .

A passion and skill for plein air painting has infused her work with a style that is always boldly spontaneous and fresh.

Carol is a nationally-recognized artist exhibiting in galleries as far as Connecticut, has numerous awards to her credit and has participated in many, many exhibitions.

Most recently she was a featured artist in the October 2013 issue of Southwest Art Magazine.
