River Art Festival, La Villita, October 7-8, 2006

ARTIST Caroline Dechert

 

After retiring from 26 years of teaching, Caroline now lives at Canyon Lake.  The rustic beauty of the lake and the Texas Hill Country have been a continual inspiration.  Her love of art began at the age of 11 with work in pastels and oil.  She minored in art in college but did not come back to it until 1988 when she began studying pastel with Kathleen Cook of Kerrville.  Since then, Caroline has explored painting portraits, still lifes, and landscapes in pastel.

Caroline has won several awards in area shows and is a member of the Canyon Lake Art Guild, the Kerrville Art Club, the New Braunfels Art League, and the Austin Pastel Society.
