An Art Review
Animated, Spirit-Guided, Allegorical Drawings
Carole Claude T., caroleclaude.art, is a quintessential storyteller who employs symbolic imagery and visual metaphors. Her inspirational, allegorical mixed media drawings enlighten us and arouse a myriad of interpretations.
Her profound iconography and visceral personification convey her expansive knowledge about humanity and nature and the realms of literature, ancient history, mythology, astrology, spiritual philosophies, and more.
In Carole’s drawings her images emanate an improvised, animated and lyrical, compositional arrangement. She enlivens her narratives with forms and colors that flow with a sense of spontaneity, imagination, and versatility.

Leo Woman, pencil drawing with watercolor and other media. Prints are also available.
Carole creates her original drawings using colored pencils, pastels, and a fine black marker pen. All drawings are produced on A4, sketch paper, 8.3” x 11.7”. Carole offers high resolution, digital format reproductions. She generously donates all sales from those prints to charity. Information can be found on her website.
Carole refers to herself as a spirit-guided artist. She tells us, “My personal conviction that we, humans, are interconnected to all that is on planet Earth and All is connected back to us.”
Artemis the 1st, pencil drawing with watercolor and other media. Prints are also available.
In many of her artworks Carole’s intention is “to draw a few amazingly brave women of bygone eras in a way that honours not only their external calm and determination, but also the inner resilience that, in every era, serves us best in times of crisis.”
Her timeless drawing “Artemis the 1st”, portrays the Olympian goddess of the hunt, wild animals, and chastity. Artemis is also a symbol of the protector of young girls.
By immersing ourselves in her imagery we learn about how all of the universal entities coexist. She encourages self-discovery and personal growth and is propelled by a desire to help us “attain mindfulness through an exploration of all matters of the heart.”
Climate Crisis, pencil drawing with watercolor and other media. Prints are also available.
Carole often tackles current social, political, and psychological concepts with fervor. With “Climate Crisis” she shares a story about history and human impact on nature and environmental change.
Carole is also the author of the book Stepping Stones To The Top Of The World (The Great Forgetfulness). In her book she wrote “…we should understand how collectively we have been contributing to the so-called unpredictable vagaries of life and weather…”
Without using didactic force her message is clear: We need to take action.
Impacting the Heart, pencil drawing with watercolor and other media. Prints are also available.
Some of Carole’s drawings may unnerve us, imploring us to deal with unresolved issues. She awakens buried memories, thoughts and latent emotions. “Impacting the Heart” is a powerful example.
When viewing her expansive portfolio, you immediately sense her desire to share her core beliefs, to inspire us, and transport us beyond the ordinary realm of reality.
The Organist’s Ghost Returned, pencil drawing with watercolor and other media. Prints are also available.
One of Carole’s mixed media drawings was selected for the “Art Inspired by Nature” Online exhibition on our other website The Healing Power of ART & ARTISTS. She also received a Special Recognition Art Award and her drawing has been selected for the exhibition on this website beginning September 15.
Carole’s art was also featured in the Manhattan Arts International “HerStory” 2026 Online Exhibition.
You can also find Carole’s art in our presentation “Art Transforms and Art Transforms Lives”.
