Carol Woodin is the Director of Exhibitions for the American Society of Botanical Artists, organizing exhibitions of contemporary work for a national and international audience. A botanical artist for over thirty years, she specializes in rare plants, mainly orchids. Wildflowers, garden flowers, and fruits and vegetables are all potential paintings, and she is always at work on something new. Her favorite place to be is out in the field making studies of plants as they grow naturally. Woodin’s work has been exhibited around the world, some recent venues are the Shirley Sherwood Gallery, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK, Museo della Grafica, Pisa, Italy, U.S. Botanic Garden, Jonathan Cooper Gallery in London, and Newhouse Galleries, New York. Her orchid paintings appear in the recent monograph Slipper Orchids of the Tropical Americas authored by Phillip Cribb and Christopher Purver, among other books and magazines. She is the recipient of the 1998 ASBA Diane Bouchier Artist Award, a Royal Horticultural Society Gold Medal, the Lankester Award for Orchid Art, and the 2016 Orchid Digest Medal of Honor.
