C.C. WOLF
Carolyn C. Wolf attended The Art Students' League and Hunter College, New York City. She received a BFA Degree from Rhode Island School of Design in 1969. From 1970 to 1973, she was a practicing artist and teacher in Florence, Italy. Since 1974, she has been Teacher and President of The East Side Art Center, Providence, Rhode Island. She is also an accomplished poet. C.C. explores new forms of expression in watercolors, mixed media, casein, pastels and drawings. Her focus is the impact of color which binds together all of her work. She believes her work should create a sense of mood and time all its own. Her artwork has been exhibited in China, Japan, Russia, Europe, Canada, Australia and throughout New England.
