About Carole Cleaver:
Carole Cleaver is an artist working in watercolor, colored pencil, and graphite. Her focus is on the natural world of trees, flowers, fruits and vegetables -- as well as the wonders found in forests, fields and streamside locations. Trained in biology and art, and rejecting the idea that the only path was medical illustration, she set out in a different direction, making a living practicing law while indulging her passion for art. After co-owning an art gallery in Soho, NY, and continuing studies at several New York City art schools over the years, she eventually found her way to Heeyoung Kim's Botanical Art Academy and the New York Botanical Garden's Botanical Illustration program, where she is thrilled to find a welcoming community of botanical artists.
