Meet the artist:

Carolyn Coursen - Inspired by the quilters of her family and the Impressionist Art Movement, Carolyn Courson’s fiber art quilts emphasize the beauty of Nature, featuring traditional and contemporary quilting techniques. Recent botanical art studies have honed her art skills in fiber and colored pencil, while selection as an Artist-in-Residence at Old Faithful in 2017 and 2018 narrowed her focus to flora and landscapes. A native of Montgomery, Alabama, she and her husband reside along the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. They enjoy travelling, especially to Montana, and are active volunteers in their community. A graduate of the University of Central Florida, she retired from a successful career in governmental accounting. She is a member of two fiber art groups in Alabama and is a Board Member of the American Society of Botanical Artists. Her fiber pieces have been exhibited regionally in group exhibitions in Auburn, Callaway Gardens, and the Mobile Museum of Art. Her botanical paintings have been exhibited at the Mobile Arts Council and the Ashland Gallery.
