An artist since childhood, Carolyn Quan grew up in Toronto, Canada and earned a degree in Commercial Design and Photography from the Ontario College of Art and Design.

Launching a career in fine art just after 9/11, Carolyn Quan has been celebrated by art collector’s worldwide from Germany to Japan to Australia. With more than 20 years of professional experience in the commercial art field, Carolyn transitioned into fine art, applying her refined sense of design, composition, color, and technical expertise to the art that she creates. Carolyn creates fine art photo collages that are a unique combination of her own original 35 mm photographs that are creatively and artistically blended together and transformed into imaginative works of fine art. Her art is inspired by spirituality and the beauty that she finds in nature and humankind.

Formerly based in Hawaii, on both the islands of Maui and Oahu, Carolyn was the owner and featured artist of The Quan Gallery in Waikiki and founder and featured artist of The Quan Gallery artist co-op gallery in Lahaina. She is now based in the San Francisco Bay Area and shows and exhibits her artwork through various fine art galleries and art festivals.

“I create my art from my heart and observe and ponder upon all that takes place around it, wondering about what is next and where my art will bring me.”
