Caroler's Creations: A Painting Exhibition by Carole Robitaille

I am a Canadian born in Northern Ontario and grew up in Whitby, On. My father died on the job when I was 12 and spent my teenage years helping my mother and my 3 younger brothers and sister. After college, I moved to Toronto for employment and started taking night school courses and workshops in art for many years this kept me continually learning and developing my sketching and painting skills. From there I joined a couple of art clubs in Toronto where I was able to learn different techniques from demonstrating artists, do volunteer work, get to show and sell some of my paintings and also win several awards. I continue to paint now daily since retiring and my love for art continues to grow.

I also have a rare disfiguring and progressive disease of Primary Lymphedema in my lower body and  that now severely impact my mobility  As it progressed it has caused my to remain home I have been able to find comfort and a getaway through my paintings.
