Carol Collins

Marengo County

Reclaimed Wood and Stone

“I have always loved art, even as a child and took it in elementary and high school. I love paint colors and fabric.” Carol says she always has some project going on. She especially likes working with old, reclaimed windows that have been taken out of old houses that are being torn down or remodeled. Pieces like painted windows take anywhere from several hours to several days to complete.

Carol’s greatest rewards come years after someone has purchased a window and they tell her they still have one of her creations and they are reminded of her when they look at what they bought from her.
