Original hand painted ceramic tile by Carol Summers

Carol Summers
Yachats, OR

Carol’s love of flowers, her interest in the energy of people and places, and her appreciation for ancient structures inspire her paintings. The medium of watercolor allows endless experiments in light, color and form.

Born in Indiana, Carol moved to Oregon at the age of seven and has lived in the Pacific Northwest since, except for a year at Santa Monica City College in California.

From 2004 through 2006 she painted with acrylics in the decorative arts style at the Tole Tree in Yachats with Kay Ludlow. In 2005 she added watercolor and has studied watercolor in Florence, Oregon, with Susan Weathers and at YAA. A founding member of Yachats Arts Guild in 2007, she won the People’s Choice Award in 2010. She received awards at Celebrate the Arts in Florence, Oregon, and won a blue ribbon at the Lincoln County Fair in 2015. Her abstract Curvique received an Award of Achievement in 2012 from the Watercolor Society of Oregon.
