Carol Long is an American artist. She is known for creating colorful ceramic sculptures that are richly adorned with flora and fauna.[1][2]

Childhood

[edit]

Long was born in 1965. She was raised on a farm in Stafford County, Kansas. It helped her develop an appreciation of animal and plant life which later inspired her art style.[3] As a child, she began creating sculptures by using her father’s cattle syringes which she filled with mud.[4]

Art

[edit]

Long handcrafts colorful, ceramic sculptures that are lavishly decorated with natural objects such as butterflies, chrysalises, birds, flowers and plants.[1][2] She creates vases, mugs, jars bottles, bowls, jewelry boxes, and other functional and ornamental objects.[2] Curvy handles, exaggerated proportions and surrealistic patterns are characteristics of her works.[5]
