Now in her tenth year of making primarily nature and landscape photographs, Carolyn is increasingly interested in returning to the same places at different times and in different seasons: the Flint Hills, Kansas countryside, Zion in Utah, the Olympic Peninsula, and Kansas City and New York City. She is generally trying to understand and convey the essence of a time and place, such as Death Valley in bloom; water, rock and verdancy in Zion; trees in fog, a single rhododendron, the landscape of a beach in the Northwest; the soft curves, rock rims, the play of light and vast distances in the Flint Hills; or the powerful experience of a prairie fire from daylight into dark night. Carolyn is also interested in surface reality and layers beneath or generated by a surface, such as fog, smoke, fire, ice, water and windows. Currently, she is working on several collages as she finds this is a way to enhance and multiply perspectives, thereby creating a ‘greater’ or more meanings-ful reality.
