About the Artist - Carol Bilodeau
Carol has lived in Nevada for 20 years, moving from a suburb of Boston in 2004 to escape the cold and snowy winters. Her passion for photography was truly sparked in the 1970's when she started taking photography night classes in Boston. As the years have gone by, she has reignited her love for photography by capturing the beauty of the area she lives in and during my travels.
Many of her greatest accomplishments in photography includes capturing the beauty of nature in such places as Nevada, Alaska, Canada, Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, North Carolina, New England, Florida, Italy, Hawaii, Sao Miguel - Azores, New Orleans, South Dakota, and National Parks - Bryce Canyon, Badlands, Wind Cave, Zion, Red Rock Canyon, Grand Canyon, Lake Mead, and Haleakala on Maui. She is continuing to expand my photography with future trips to Europe and New England.
She recently expanded her artistic abilities to encompass the medium of Alcohol Ink. After taking a class on this medium through the Boulder City Art Guild, this sparked a part of her creativity that has laid dormant waiting for the right avenue to awaken her artistic abilities. She is now creating alcohol ink abstracts on items such as repurposed wine bottles, ceramics, vases, coasters, record albums, Yupo paper and resin.
Working with alcohol ink has led her to working with resin. Incorporating this expertise with alcohol ink into creating such items as custom snowflake ornaments, trinket dishes, custom magnets, colorful resin bookmarks and a special heart hug.
