About our Speaker: Carolyn Whiteside
Carolyn grew up in rural Oklahoma with 3 older brothers and lots of farm animals, including a pet Brahma bull. She always had a special interest in animals and their behavior.
She studied education at Oklahoma State University, and taught at the high school level for 20 years before retiring. Carolyn and her husband, Bobby, both enjoy camping and traveling. Carolyn renewed her interest in photography as a way to entertain herself in retirement. After seeing her wildlife and nature images, local wildlife artist Wade Butler encouraged her to show and sell her work.
Carolyn is now a regular exhibitor at Gruene Market Days, Oysterfest in Fulton, The Official Texas Arts and Crafts Fair in Kerrville, and The Annual 4th of July Rockport Art Festival. She has won numerous awards, and has images published in Texas Parks and Wildlife and Hill Country Magazine. She also has images in an Embassy Suites in San Antonio, and the Gruene River Restaurant in Gruene.
Carolyn recently took a trip of a lifetime to Africa and will share the preparation for the safari and some of the special images that she captured in Kenya and Tanzania for the May meeting.
