Her work has been collected nationally and shown in galleries along the West Coast and in New Mexico. She writes a monthly blog about creativity and has had her paintings published in several collections, including Artists of the Bay Area and Wild Lands, by Jen Tough Gallery. Her work has been shown at Liberty Arts Gallery in Yreka, and more about her can be found on her website https://caroljenkinsart.com. Carol maintains studios in the Bay Area as well as Mt. Shasta, California, where she is surrounded by the wilderness that inspires much of her work.
