The love of drawing as a child led Carolyn Shores Wright to paint as an adult. “I always loved crayons, paints, pencils, and paper - all the tools of art,” Wright says. It must be this background which inspires her philosophy that “everyone is born with a certain aptitude, but must work to acquire skills.”

Carolyn’s career in art started as a hobby but soon turned to a labor of love. After exhibiting as several local art shows, she realized the joy and happiness her work brought to others and decided to continue painting as often as she could and has been delighting others with her charming illustrations of birds and florals for over 30 years.

Carolyn is best known for her whimsical portrayals of fluffy backyard birds that delight in humorous antics and loving poses.    Inspired by nature and the many birds that visit her backyard, Carolyn maintains her studio in Northern Alabama.  When she’s not painting, she spends much of her time outdoors – walking, bird-watching, or tending her garden and delights in helping others by volunteering at local libraries and hospitals.
