Professional Artist Carol Harding Carol Harding was born and raised in Utah, one of the most fascinating and colorful areas of the American West.  This natural setting helped to inspire her to become an artist at a very early age.  While still in grade school her art work was among those chosen to be sent to Russia on a student cultural project.  She later won her first national art competition at the age of thirteen. Since then she has painted and taught art professionally, participated in several invitational and juried shows, plus, winning numerous top awards including: Purchase Awards, Best of Show, First Place and People's Choice.  Recently, she received the "Sharing the Vision Award" for outstanding achievement in the area of Arts.  Her artwork is shown by popular galleries in several western states and her paintings are owned by public and private collectors throughout the country and abroad. Working primarily with oils and pastels, Carol finds inspiration from traveling and painting out of doors and specializes in subjects that express her life-time experiences which include figurative, landscapes and still life arrangements.  Carol resides with her husband in Pleasant Grove, Utah.  There they raised a family of five children.  Carol designed and had an art studio built near her home which made it possible to develop her talent and also be available to the family.  Her family has always been her top priority and each of her pieces of artwork has been inspired by them or by her testimony in Jesus Christ.  Her love for her Savior and her family can be felt in every painting she completes. In the year 2000, as many trials were facing her and her family, Carol had an overwhelming spiritual experience with a pastel painting she was trying to complete.  After many prayers, she followed the promptings and has shared the message of this experience to her family, to Church leaders and to many women through Home, Family and Personal Enrichment programs.  We quote Carol Harding, "A book could be written of the miracles and blessings that have transpired since sharing this painting and it's message.  I know that I must not tell others what to see or feel, but I do testify that the Lord loves us far beyond our comprehension.  I know that our Savior, Jesus Christ, will open the way for this painting's message."
