My artwork offers unique perspectives with the hope that it evokes enough curiosity to compel one to ask bold questions.
Carol Marie Vossler Artist/Papermaker/Educator
Imagery and objects reflect my concerns for the environment and the need for us to take action. Extinction of over a million animals is at stake. The environmental damage and loss of habitat in the Adirondacks and other compromised geographical areas effects us all. Borders no longer matter.
It is time to care for all living Kin.
