In 1983 and 1986 she released a calendar of pen and ink drawings with Papillion artist, Carol at the One Drake Place Art Show, 2009
Dottie Seymour. These calendars, Sarpy County Scenes, have been widely distributed
and appreciated for their historic
significance as well as artistic merit.
Carol enjoys sketching outdoors. Her appreciation of the Midwest has grown as many sketchbooks provide inspiration for her paintings and drawings. Her work requires patient observation to catch the "atmosphere of the place." She wants her work to remind one of unnoticed things and capture a moment in time.
She has exhibited her work in Lincoln, Ashland, Bellevue, and Papillion, Nebraska. A one-woman show at the Talent Tree Galleries in Omaha featured her work in May of 1996 and April of 1999. Her most recent one-woman show was held at the "Creekside Gallery", Papillion, Ne. in March 2008
