Carol Young

Email: youngcarolj@comcast.net

Carol enjoys painting the places and people she has known during many years of international travels. But portraiture is her favorite work to explore now.

"It touches lives in heartwarming ways and creates lasting memories. People of every age and culture are engaging. Childrenfaces, radiant with new beginnings. Elderfaces, reflecting a lifetime of experiences."

Carol's portraits often include details of whatever is important and unique to each child or adult, telling the viewer something about each person's story.

To see Carol's portrait portfolios, call her studio at 925.229.2509
