The Beautiful Anna Again (2007) Painting by Carolyn Bishop

Carolyn Benkert Bishop has been a lifelong artist at heart. Yet, it's only in the past couple of years, since she semi-retired, then finally retired, that she's found time to really pursue her passion --- depicting the earth's riches, primarily in floral paintings and landscapes. Watercolor and pastels have been her preferred media in the past several years, and both have presented to her a great yet rewarding challenge.

Carolyn grew up in Monroe, Wisconsin, and is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A former magazine editor and writer, she lived most of her adult life in New York City and Aspen, Colorado, before returning to her roots in Wisconsin. where she was a public relations counselor and partner at Hiebing in Madison until her retirement in September 2007. Carolyn and her husband Lloyd reside in the Goodland Park neighborhood of Madison.
