CAROLE IS AN HONORS PROGRAM SUMMA CUM LAUDE GRADUATE IN ART HISTORY FROM QUEENS COLLEGE, SPECIALIZING IN ANTIQUITIES.  JAPANESE ART HAS BEEN A PERSONAL PASSION SINCE 1980, WHILE MY ARTISTIC BENT WAS NURTURED IN HIGH SCHOOL AT THE WALDORF SCHOOL IN GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK.  AN HIATUS FROM SCHOOLING RESULTED IN MY BECOMING THE MANAGER OF THE LARGEST HOTEL RESERVATION OFFICE IN THE WORLD (THEN) FOR HILTON HOTELS.  SHOW PARTICIPATION HAS BEEN PART AND PARCEL OF MY BUSINESS EXPERIENCE, INCLUDING THE PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL ASIAN ART FAIR IN THE 1990'S. THE CURRENT FOCUS CENTERS ON MARCH ASIA WEEK IN NEW YORK IN ADDITION TO PRIVATE DEALING.  MUSEUMS AND COLLECTORS CAN BE ASSURED OF RESEARCHED  WORKS OF ART WITH SCIENTIFIC TESTING IF NECESSARY.  SHOWING WORKS OF ART IS CHALLENGING DURING THE PRESENT TIME, BUT CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS CAN BE TAKEN TO ASSURE HEALTH AND SAFETY.  LET US WORK TOGETHER.

HERE'S LOOKING AT YOU.  A SERENE AND BEAUTIFUL NOH MASK OF ZO-ONNA FROM 18TH CENTURY JAPAN. IF ONLY WE COULD WEAR ONE NOW. GREETING FACES LIKE THIS WOULD HOLD OUR INTEREST AND PROVIDE A RESPITE FROM OUR TRAVAILS.
