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.

She was a really sweet lady. I attended a Sabrina Ward Harrison workshop in her home. It was a lovely weekend!
What a lovely, kind person. I’m sorry for your loss.
Karla, I knew about her classes, but never met her in person. The world was obviously a better place because of her; thanks for sharing your beautiful story so that we could all appreciate her.
I don’t know who she is but it sounds as if she was a wonderful friend. We need more of her kind, not less. I’m sorry for your loss.
Another Beautiful Link in the Chain of Life has been added. I celebrate Her life with all Who Knew Her. ( May His Angels of Healing and Love come to all in Joy of a Beautiful Sweet Loving Person).
Now, We have to tell Her Story.
So, sorry for your loss, Carla.

Such sad news, but lovely that you have wonderful memories of her to treasure
This is very sad news. I enjoyed her work.
attended her memorial today and everyone echoed the same thing – she was a larger than life, incredibly generous, and creative person – I will miss her greatly – she made an indelible mark on my life
