Artist Statement
"Carol Bolt lives and works in Edmonds, Washington, this is her third year to participate in the Edmonds Art Studio Tour.
Her studio work is inspired by living in one of the most beautiful places in the US. Carol is not as interested in creating representational images of landscape as she is inspired to visually investigate how landscape feels to her. Working from memory and at times resource photos, that she has taken of mountains, desert, sea, woods, lakes, neighborhood gardens and even city streets are all common fodder for her work. Color, transparency, repetition, shape, line and abstraction are featured elements in her artwork.
Her favored tools are ink, acrylics, pens, brushes, stencils, mono printing plates and at times tools she has made from found materials. Carol is an avid walker and often finds ephemera on her walks that she uses for inspiration.
Carol earned a BFA from The University of Delaware and an MFA from The University of Washington. She looks forward to welcoming you into her studio. Stop by and see her completed works, as well as her shelves of treasures found during her walks."

Notice on Parking:
"We got the okay from our neighbors to the south of us to have their driveway be a walk-through for those that park on High street to visit my studio. The grassy area along OVD will also be a walk through area, I will have both areas clearly marked with colorful tape and balloons. I have also attached a map for a visual. I have marked the entries and walkways with a red x.
Parking for the general public will be best on High Street or Stamm Lookout on OVD almost directly across from our house. We are reserving our driveway for disabled parking only as it requires having a person out there to manage incoming/outgoing folks because the driveway can’t hold two cars side by side.
I will have lots of signage marking these areas."
