Carolyn Jacobsen

"I am inspired by my surroundings - nature, architecture, things, animals and people. I enjoy bright colors, various shapes, lots of textures and contrasts of light and dark. Currently, I am enjoying experimenting with a variety of media either in an abstract or realistic manner. Just going where the spirit takes me."
