About the Artist:
“In 2003 I began stumbling while scouting for deer hunting areas with my husband Clarence. I was soon diagnosed with MS. Hands now shaky, I can no longer enjoy painting and even had to leave my job. With time on my hands I continued to exercise by working the family farm.
Determined to paint again, I had a cabin constructed on the place where my husband and I loved to sit together and watch the wild game in the back yard. There I found the peace I needed to steady my hand and paint again.”

This is only one of the many beautiful paintings I have seen of Carol Tomlin’s! I have two hanging in my home! Thankfully for all of us, she has a few paintings with reprints available. Her work is very popular in Woodbine and the South Jersey area and can be seen hanging in many homes and places of business.
