Critique Artist for 2024: Carol Jenkins
Carol Jenkins transitioned from a successful psychotherapy practice to a full-time art career later in life. She has been painting for over fifteen years and her work has been collected nationally and shown in galleries along the West Coast and in New Mexico. She writes a monthly blog about creativity and has had her paintings published in several collections, including Artists of the Bay Area and Wild Lands, by Jen Tough Gallery. Carol maintains studios in the Bay Area as well as Mt. Shasta, California, where she is surrounded by the wilderness that inspires much of her work.
Her work has been shown at Liberty Arts in Yreka, and more about her can be found on her website https://caroljenkinsart.com
