Carol Andersen is a visual artist who primarily draws and paints. She received her masters of art in painting from Humboldt State University in 1989. She has shown her work throughout California and is represented in many private collections in the United States.
Carol has lived in Humboldt County for over twenty years. She currently resides in a small house on the shores of Humboldt Bay, overlooking the tidal mud flats. This daily connection with nature serves as a constant influence for her art work and the Pacific Rim provides great inspiration for her drawings and paintings.
Ms. Andersen’s colorful fish displayed in Congressman Thompson’s office is the first in a series dedicated to the conservation of watersheds. Carol Andersen believes that an overall policy and plans for watershed protection and restoration are greatly needed. She feels that clean water, clean air and healthy resources are elements of public trust.
