5. “ Though I am trained in traditional oil painting, over the past several years I have developed a new style, now using a computer to create my artwork. I explore art programs, like Photoshop, and find the medium challenging and exciting with endless creative possibilities. I still use brushes, but now the computer screen is my canvas. I adore painting nature in all its glory. Color is my passion and creating beauty is so healing, to me and hopefully to others who view my work. Every picture I create comes from my heart and I always strive to capture the true essence of the animal, flower, or scene.” Carol Cavalaris
