Carol Bass began painting magnolias and camellias in the low country of South Carolina. Now she is an outsider artist in Maine and paints her dreams of fish and birds and how she imagines them swimming and flying and being free. She is inspired by the outsider artists and their clear pathways to the heart. She believes her work is about keeping the "cow path along-side of the informational highway", as poet David Whyte says. She does this with color and form and old-fashioned paint.
