Artist: Carol Jazzar

Carol Jazzar is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist who lives and works in El Portal, Florida. Her work is centered on Nature, be it her own, or that of Mother Nature. To realize her artist goals, she sustains two practices, one in the studio, which revolves around collages, drawings and writing; the other outdoors, using photography and site-specific projects.

Before fully dedicating her time to her current practices, Jazzar ran a contemporary art gallery out of the garage on her property in Miami's El Portal neighborhood. She showed many local and national artists - including Jen Stark, Farley Aguilar, Shoshanna Weinberger and Ronny Quevedo, among others.

Her previous creative incarnation was as a clothing designer under the label Chains Addiction.

She has exhibited her work at the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, FL, Girls Club Collection in Ft Lauderdale, The Miami-Dade Public Library, The Deering Estate, and the Hollywood Art & Culture Center, FL as well as in private galleries and artist-run alternative spaces.

Her work is part of the collections of the Miami-Dade Public Library, Miami International Airport, Related Group and other private collections.
