All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts…
William Shakespeare

Painter and Illustrator Carol Fabricatore is a great observer of all things, and likes to approach creating narrative imagery beginning with an emotional connection to an idea. She often gravitates towards subject matter that might be seen in one's peripheral vision, or passed by on the way to something in the mainstream. She has produced art for books, magazines, newspapers and projects for design and advertising firms.
Carol has been a member of SVA MFA Illustration as Visual Essay faculty since 1994. “It’s all in how you see things through you own eyes. What’s important to you and what story you’d like to tell. Drawing is Magic.”
