Carol Love-Waddell After studying art at both Kent State University in Ohio and Ray Vogue School of Design in Chicago, Carol enjoyed a successful career in advertising while raising her family. As she showed her works in juried shows, she continued to expand herself with studies in both sculpting and portraiture which led to many commissions. Being a native of Ohio, she found her subjects often to be of country landscapes, children and the gentle Amish who lived in nearby communities in both Ohio and Pennsylvania.  However, after moving to Florida several years ago, she quickly developed a love for the tropical birds, flowers and the white sandy beaches surrounding her. Many of her pieces are in both private and corporate collections across the U.S., Europe and Russia and are available in Galleries and Shoppes in many states. A resident of Lakelend, Florida, she is a member of the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, Inc. located on Florida's Gulf Coast.  e-mail:  AngelflyteArt@aol.com Commissioned portraits - $125:  Capture the inner beauty of your loved one with a lovely piece of artwork.  Provide a favorite photo and receive an 8 1/2 x 11 portrait executed in pastels, ink and colored pencil suitable for framing.  Truly, a special gift for yourself or a friend to be enjoyed for a lifetime.
