ABOUT THE ARTIST
Carolyn L. Caruso was born in Seattle, Wash., but grew up in California, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Tokyo, and upstate New York. She studied fine art at Munson-Williams-Proctor-Institute ( Utica, N.Y. ) and S.U.N.Y. Purchase, where she received her B.F.A. in 1983 ( majoring in printmaking, much messier than sewing! ). She now lives in Dutchess County, N.Y., in the beautiful Hudson Valley, with her husband Michael and daughters Clara ( SUNY New Paltz senior ), Alicia ( SUNY Binghamton sophomore ), and Marisa ( H.S. junior ), along with one Yorkie and three cats.
A lifelong sewer and artist, and a stay-at-home mom, Carolyn first made sock dolls for Clara when she was a baby. Unable to stop, Carolyn turned professional in 1991 with Art and Sole Creations. Now she makes her unique soft-sculptured sock dolls for everyone!
