Originally from Long Island, New York, Carolyn studied art at the University of New Hampshire and recieved a BFA in painting. She lives with her Search and Rescue husband ( a real life hero, now retired) and their occasional cat.

Twenty years in Key West shaped this artist's colorful whimsical style. Carolyn paints and draws the world around her. Her cats, the hurricanes, or the changing light on the Indian River are all sources of inspiration

She is also a veteran of many archeological digs in South America where she does on site mapping and recording of artifacts and will find any excuse to draw in court. The John Gotti trials in Brooklyn, New York marked the beginning of her lifelong fascination with trial drawing.

Carolyn now runs an artist co-op "Carolyn Seiler & Friends" in Cocoa Village FL
