About Carol Cartwright

Prior to moving to Salida, Colorado in January 2004, my life in Iowa taught me the value of an education. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in elementary education from the University of Iowa and a Masters and Specialist degrees in education from Drake University. 

In 1998 I graduated from the Rocky Mountain School of Photography's (RMSP) Summer Intensive Program in Missoula, Montana, and the Digital Intensive photography course at RMSP in 2003. I continue to participate in photography workshops taught by nationally known instructors throughout the United States.

My photography is of the highest quality from beginning to end. I capture images using a Canon 7D digital camera. In addition to using Adobe PhotoShop for image enhancement, I employ various other creative techniques such as Photomatix Pro for High Dynamic Range images, and other methods to create photographic montages and polar coordinates of images. 

I engage the services of quality labs for image processing as traditional photographic images on archival papers or as giclee prints on canvas, which are UV protected, water resistant, and archival.

I have had 15 solo exhibits and have been an exhibitor at local, state and national exhibits.

Currently, I conduct four photographic workshops every year.
