About Carolyn Lord

Carolyn Lord works in the California Regionalist Watercolor tradition established in the 1930's by artists such as Millard Sheets and Milford Zornes. When Carolyn was 26, her work was profiled on the Watercolor Page in American Artist Magazine, followed by cover articles in U.S. Art and Watercolor Magic Magazines. She is an Artist Member of the California Art Club, and a Signature Member of the National Watercolor Society. This year, Carolyn will serve as a juror for the NWS's 89th Annual Exhibition. Since last year's Maynard Dixon Country, her paintings have been awarded Best of Studio by Jean Stern at the Torrey Pines Plein Air Invitational, and Best of Show by Kevin MacPherson at the Santa Cruz Statewide Exhibition. Carolyn lives and paints the landscape, architecture and gardens of her home town of Livermore, California.
