ABOUT CAROL SPONG
Art has been one of my loves for a very long time. My childhood summers were spent in Rockport, MA where there is a thriving artist colony. My mother arranged for me to take art lessons there and then at home, in Lowell, MA. When it came time for college, it was liberal arts, back then.
When we got to California, in the middle of the Women’s Movement, I looked for a career where I could contribute to our family. The interior design major in the Environmental Design Dept. at San Diego State University filled the bill. I practiced interior design for 35 years as a solo practitioner. Of course, during that time I did a little art work, but not enough.
One of the highlights, just before I went back to school, was having a painting stolen from a clinic that had asked for artwork for their walls. I was so happy that someone liked my work enough to walk off with it.
