Come see this brand new body of work. Carol Kroll creates one-of-a-kind contemporary mixed media sculpture & fine craft. She says, "Living close to nature, I find inspiration all around me. I am intrigued by natures’ recurrent fractal patterns; the repetition of color, texture and form recurring throughout nature from the micro to the macro. I see this as a reflection of our inherent interconnection with all of life. My work celebrates the beauty and wonder of natures’ design and honors her resilience as well as her fragility."
