Spotlighting her realistic painting style, Ms. Carol finds joy in painting pets! Each project often requires meticulous research to capture the fine details of each pet’s face, ensuring a lifelike representation. Over the past 26 years, she has honed her realistic techniques, which has led her to illustrating two children’s books. Her artistic repertoire spans more than just pet portraits; she has also explored several other types of painting. Be sure to check out her “Portfolio” on her website at www.carolstoecker.com.
