Carole’s paintings reflect her attachment to nature, the animal world and wide open spaces and as such very often allude to ecology and the interaction between humans and nature. At the heart of this universe, the female figure evokes our essential link to the elements: both serious and mischievous, naive and manipulative. If Carole’s view of society is sometimes confused or sad, her colorful fantasies and ironic paintings more than made up for it.

Safe sex should be a priority of the health education for youths (and the older). We can't ignore that Aids can concern everybody in our modern societies. Also, treatments must be accessible to everyone in every countries and continents, without the dictate of laboratories.
