Carol Scavotto Artist
Carol is a female Western multimedia artist. She creates silk thread paintings influenced by Shunga and Chinese Silk Embroidery. They are displayed from magnetic teak bars or within bamboo embroidery hoops. Her western viewpoint adds humor while honoring the two ancient art forms.
A westerner presenting this body of work raises questions. This creates an educational segue bridging east and west.
