About the Artist<br />

Carolyn Schmitz<br />

Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Carolyn<br />

moved with her family to the mountains<br />

outside of Prescott, Arizona in 1952.<br />

Drawing and painting from an early age,<br />

Carolyn initially completed foundation<br />

courses at the Kansas City Art Institute<br />

before receiving a BFA in graphic<br />

design from Arizona State University.<br />

For nearly 30 years she lived in the<br />

raw desert near Phoenix, freelancing<br />

as an illustrator and muralist berfore<br />

returning to her forest home.<br />

Carolyn’s small, whimsical portraits<br />

of the wildlife of the American West<br />

focus on intricate botanical detail. Her<br />

line of greeting cards, <strong>Desert</strong> <strong>Dada</strong>,<br />

has brought the subtle beauties of this<br />

arid land to people around the world,<br />

inspiring them to open their eyes to yet<br />

more treasures that await discovery in<br />

their own local habitats.<br />
