      Ms. Darling began drawing animals at the age of five and has continued a close association with a variety of wildlife,  while perfecting her talents of draftsmanship and sensitive portrayals.  Childhood years spent living in Europe enabled the young artist to see firsthand the original work of great Renaissance Masters.  Today her drawings and paintings  reflect this early influence.

      Carol was an Honor Student and top graduate of the Ringling School of Art and Design,  and also graduated from the University of the Incarnate Word,  with the degree in Arts Education.  Her busy  life included being an  internationally published sports photographer and awarded winning graphic designer.  A parallel career in arts teaching enabled her to influence the careers of many  artists across the country.

      Carol is a signature member of the Society of Animal Artists, International, the most prestigious animal art organization. worldwide. This honor motivates Carol to create animal art of the highest quality.

      Her work has been shown in the World Wildlife Museum, San Antonio, Denver and El Paso Zoos, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the Witte Museum and many galleries across the U.S.  Completed drawings for the Frost Bank collection of Texas Art won the honor of "Best of Texas" in the drawing division, sponsored by Sakowitz of Houston.

      Oil painting is the current interest for the artist,  and eventual work will be offered to patrons.
