Carolyn started painting with oils in her early 20's.  Since then her art has evolved  and now includes a variety of surfaces and mixed media.  She has a bachelors and masters degree from the University of Oklahoma.

It is Carolyn's combined love of, and background in painting, dance and drumming that led her to form My Painted Hand Drum. It is her fascination with these art forms and the way they interact over time and with life that truly intrigues her. This combination has led her to create very unique art. Each painting and each surface has its own spirit which gives it joy and playfulness. It is this joy she tries to bring out in her paintings.
