Carol Taylor   After teaching for 27 years in Round Mountain, NV., Carol moved to Carson City where she lives in the house her parents built. Loving art since she was a child, she easily stepped into art when taking classes at WNC  8 years ago to renew her teaching credentials and has never looked back. While she has taken classes from several local instructors in all kinds of media over the years, she is self-directed in her passion. Now she quenches her curiosity about new techniques online. If she sees a design she likes, she experiments until she figures out how to make it. While Carol is drawn to the design in her Zentangles, she challenges herself to layer the Zentangle design over a prepainted water-colored surface to get the contrast and emphasize the subject of the design. And there is no erasing or painting over!

When a WNC art class required her to visit a gallery, she discovered the local NAA Gallery which has become a second home for her. Not only is she the past membership board chairperson for several years and is now the acting secretary; she regularly volunteers whenever she can to host the gallery when other members are unable to fulfill their hosting responsibility.
