Carolyn Zaroff is a California nature painter whose work reflects her passion for color and interest in contrasting forms and textures in landscape and in the sea.

Her home studio is in Sausalito where she paints full-time. In recent years she has been enchanted by the bold colors found in the vineyards of Northern California in every season,.

She has also painted frequently in Kauai during winter visits. In 2007 she began a series of land paintings there which show her growing concern about the ever-increasing development of the Island.

She has been selected to receive an Artist at Work grant from the Bootstrap Foundation of Palo Alto. Her work is included in the book, “Art of Northern California,” and is enjoyed in private collections on both coasts and in Kauai.

In California she is represented by  the Plaza Arts Center in
Healdsburg, Art People in San Francisco and the San Francisco Women's Art Gallery.  In Kauai she is represented by the Shaning Cierras Gallery in Hanapepe.
