Born in Ohio, Carol Griffin now considers herself a New Yorker, having lived and worked in the city since 1989. Griffin studied at various institutions in New York City including The Art Students League, Pratt Institute, and the New York Studio School of Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, where she was the recipient of a Ramapo Trust Scholarship for the study of sculpture.

Griffin was the sole apprentice of master sculptor Lorrie Goulet, who shared with Griffin the benefit of her 70+ years of experience in direct carving and drawing. This apprenticeship has proven to be a unique and invaluable influence on Griffin’s artistic development.

Griffin is inspired by natural forms: the human body, fresh produce, aquatic animals, and mathematical waves. Her carvings directly reflect these naturalistic objects. A recurrent theme in her work is the beauty of diversity in nature.

Griffin’s work has been included in several juried exhibitions in New York City, and she has also exhibited in Southampton and East Hampton, New York. Her work is included in private collections throughout the United States. Carol is represented by Harmon-Meek Galleries of Naples, Florida.
