Carolyn's Studio is located on a tree-lined street in East Atlanta. The small bungalow is crammed with the works of her favorite artists, collected over the years, as well as her own pieces. There is usually the sound of jazz, the scent of flowers, and candles. There are books, mostly on art and spirituality, in overflowing stacks on every tabletop and there are angels of various descriptions in every room.

Basically self-trained, Carolyn has studied with several other artists. The most notable of these is Carl Owens, the internationally renowned illustrator and painter, whom she met in 1968 and studied with until he, as she says "left physicality" in December of 2002. That influence is clearly present in her paintings and her art continues to be informed by his gifts of drawings and paintings, as well as books, videotapes and handwritten notes on technique. Carolyn exhibits regularly and pursues a steady quest for artistic and spiritual development, practicing meditation, commurion with nature, and artistic interpretation of spiritual truths.

In gratitude to her mentor, Carolyn is establishing the Carl Owens Memorial Scholarship, to annually benefit a promising young artist. If you are interested in learning more about the scholarship, please contact Carolyn McFarlin at angelyn@angelsartbycarolyn.com
