Such sad news: Carol Parks passed away on Sunday.
I met Carol briefly in 2006 at Artfest, and we “traded” artwork and zines the following fall during Art & Soul. We kept in touch by email the following year. In early 2008 I was going through a particularly difficult time financially; Carol found out about it and suddenly “needed” several hundred dollars worth of art and journals from my etsy shop… she wrote in the message to seller: “I’ve been in your position several times in my life. We can’t have that.”
In 2009 I taught a three-day workshop in her home… what fun that was, in so many ways!
This generous and talented woman will be missed. Goodbye, Carol.
