Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: August - 2022
For Cover Artist Carol Tamplin, the profound bonds between people and their pets can be found at the heart of her art.
Carol Tamplin’s paintbrush is the extension of a verytalented hand. That hand is hot-wired to her heart, aheart which expresses the ancient love connection ofpets and people. Hand and heart are a magical combination thatmakes Carol the Plateau’s in-demand pet portrait artist.“Paintings keep the love going, especially when a furry familymember makes its way to the rainbow bridge,” Carol says.“I am honored to paint treasured moments and memories ofbeloved animals. There’s something very soul-satisfying aboutwhat I am called to do.”But Carol hasn’t always been a painter. “I grew up in a smalltown in Georgia,” she says. “I always dabbled in art, but my parents were practical. They sent me to pharmacy school. Ifollowed their pragmatic lead, schooling, marrying, raising afamily. But when my kids grew up, I signed up for art classes.”“My first teacher got me started in oils, and I’ve stuck with it,”Carol says. She likes its extended workability thanks to a slowdrying time.While Carol specializes in pets, a variety of other images catchher eye.
