Carolyn Mae Lassiter was raised in Ahoskie, North Carolina
where her family worked as sharecroppers until she was twelve years old. Picking
cotton, tobacco and peanuts alongside her family, she spent little time in
school. Carolyn developed her interest in art during the early 1970's when
she and her husband Edmond Rabkin lived in Mexico with a family of indigenous
artists. A self-taught artist, she began drawing in
1989. Her artwork is critically acclaimed at shows internationally. Carolyn's
work includes various types of multi-media art.
