A high school photo of me at an art exhibit.  My work is a still life from art class done in colored pencil, of course.

 

 

My name is Karol.  I am 40 years old.  I have loved drawing as long as I can remember.  In high school, Art was my favorite class.  Colored pencils have always been my favorite medium.

I had not drawn with colored pencils since high school until January, 2008.  I haven't stopped since.  I have recently begun drawing home renderings for others.  I have found this to be a very rewarding path.  Each structure is unique and challenging in its own way.

I thank God for the ability He has given me to draw.

I live on the beautiful Gulf Coast of Florida.  Living here is an inspiring place.  I am surrounded by the natural beauty of the Gulf of Mexico, the magnificent dune lakes, gorgeous state parks, and just as inspiring -the amazing architecture of Seaside, WaterColor, Rosemary Beach and many other places here. 

On a more personal note, I started running in December, 2007.  I completed my first half marathon November 30, 2008 at the Space Coast Marathon, Cocoa Beach, FL.

Running is something I have always wanted to do and I have found it to be rewarding in many ways.  I feel healthier, I can eat a piece of cheesecake and not feel guilty, it is a reason to be outside in the fresh air, it has made me stronger physically and as a person.  I feel more confident in knowing I can set goals and achieve them through perseverance, and I also feel it gets me away from the computer, my cell phone, and other distractions for a while several days a week and I can clear my head.  I have seen some of the most beautiful sunrises  and sunsets while running.

Thank you for visiting my website.  I hope you enjoy viewing my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
