Originally from Long Island, New York, Carolyn Seiler studied art at the University of New Hampshire and received a BFA in painting.  She lives with her Search and Rescue husband (a real-life hero, now retired) and their occasional cat.

Twenty years in Key West shaped Carolyn’s colorful and whimsical style. Carolyn paints and draws the world around her.  Her cats, the hurricanes, or the changing light on the Indian River are all sources of inspiration.

Carolyn is also a veteran of many archeological digs in South America, where she does on-site mapping and recording of artifacts, and she will find any excuse to draw in a courtroom.  The John Gotti trials in Brooklyn, New York, marked the beginning of her lifelong fascination with trial drawing.

Carolyn now runs an artist coop, “Carolyn Seiler & Friends”, in Cocoa Village, Florida.
