Carolyn Goldsmith

I remember when we shared a studio on 2nd Avenue North in the mid-eighties. There was no heat and we had to go up a flight of stairs tog et water. Of course we could not go to our studios after dark or on the weekends, but we had all the space in the world and could not have been happier had we been in a loft in NYC. I had recently come to Birmingham and knew no one in the “art scene.” Toni, on the other hand, knew everyone there and had a steady stream of friends and colleagues coming to visit. She introduced me to everyone and we all had many lively discussions. I’m not sure we solved all the problems of the world, but we had a delightful time trying.

Carolyn was born in Gainesville, Florida. She graduated from Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri and continued her studies in art at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Huntington College, The University of the South in Sewanee Tennessee, and The Art Institute of Chicago. She now lives and works in Birmingham, Alabama and Watercolor, Florida.
