About


Carolyn Shores Wright is an artist currently living in Huntsville, Alabama. When Carolyn had two teenage sons, she began her art career. Her early works were done in oils and acrylics, but for a vacation trip her husband gave her a set of watercolor paints. She soon realized she had found her medium.

The artist has developed a style which is sensitive, delicate and uniquely her own. Her whimsical paintings, which have long been favorites of the public, express her own personality with that of the subject. Her more realistic paintings show highly developed textures and patterns.

Her work has been licensed for such products as collector plates, greeting cards, porcelain mugs, stationary products, books, fabrics, wallpaper, dining products, window decorations, t-shirts, tabletop figurines and many other items. Licensing partners include: AMIA,  Art Brands, Bradford Exchange, Burton & Burton, Cherison, Creative Converting, Crown Point Graphics, Current, Danbury Mint, Dimensions, Harvest House Publishers, JQ Greetings, Leanin’ Tree, Marian Heath, Raz Imports, Toland Home & Garden,  etc.

Her work has also been used for promotional greeting cards by Audubon Society, the Christian Children’s Fund, Colorful Images, Military Officers Association of America, National Geographic, Retired Officers Association, Smithsonian, and Yankee Magazine.

    Hi, Carolyn,

    Thank you for brightening my life with your lovely artwork. I have a picture of a hummingbird drawing nectar from beautiful blue flowers, dated 1979. I have enjoyed it so much over the years.

    Best regards,

    Hi Carolyn, I aquired a 8×10 picture of three little blue birds with white chests sitting on a branch. The birds on the sides appear to be singing to the middle bird. The branch has 2 leaves and 4 berries hanging from the left of the branch .. The picture is ink and pencil signed as well as numbered 159/200. Also there is a circled C52 after the signature. Does this picture have a title / name ? I love this picture. I will be anxious for your reply Thanks for your happy pictures. Josee

      Hi, Josee…Thanks so much for your message. Mom has asked me to respond for her.The “C52” in a circle should indicate the copyright year, but mom wasn’t painting in 1952. Perhaps it is C92? Or C82? The print had a relatively small run at 200.She thinks the piece is titled “Caught in the MIddle”–the two birds on the end may be lecturing the one in the center. Mom is the youngest of four siblings and says she sometimes felt caught like that as a child…thanks again for contacting mom; we are so glad you enjoy her work. We have a question for you–Is this piece matted? Thanks…her older son, Jay Wright

    I have aquired a picture of an old lady standing by a fence , she has on a straw hat and holding a pitch fork in her hand with a metal bucket sitting on the ground beside her. It is signed Carolyn Shore Wright ,dated 88 and has 483/1000 on it. I can’t find any information about it on the computer. Is it one of yours? Can you give me any information about it? Thank You very much. Betty

      Hello…yes, the print you have from 1988 is one of my mother’s…she tells me it was one of a pair of similar prints done in that time period…mom has always liked painting older people, especially women…they remind her of family members when she was a child…she has done a number of such paintings over the years and they have been very popular…if the print you have has been signed twice, one signature is a part of the print and the other is her actual signature on that print. Thanks so much for contacting mom; she loves to hear from people who own and enjoy her work.

        I have both of these prints; Grandmother I and Grandmother II. In pencil, besides the double signature in pencil, there are markings of AP/XVII on one and AP/XVI on the other. What do they mean? I bought these because they looked so much like my grandmother and her sister and I have enjoyed them for years.

      • Jay Wright January 19, 2019 at 3:04 pm #

        This comment relates to the one below from Nina Zahran. An “AP” on the print indicates “artist’s print”. First copies of a print run are often given to the artist. The Roman numeral is the number of those particular artist’s prints. Thanks to all for your interest in mom’s work!–Jay Wright

    After seeing one of the images from Birds Life Series 1 of a fellow card crafters blog, I was hooked and in LOVE. But, only to find PC Crafters is closed and the digital images are no longer available to purchase. I can only hope the rights to the digital images went back to you, the artist. OMG…these birds have captured the essence of life in such an adorable way. Perhaps I have missed where I can purchase. Ahhh…such an awesome talent and to find it when you did!

    Hello! We found this wonderful framed print at an estate sale and brought it home. It is signed by Carolyn Shores Wright. It is, like others here, signed in ink and in pencil. It appears to be either ’81 or ’87 (by the copywright number) and is numbered 1547/1950. It’s a lovely image of a blue jay on a branch filled with delicate pink flowers. The previous owner ingeniously had it framed by a local company (according to back sticker) with a light blue stonework matting. It’s a beautiful effect with the soft colors in the artwork. I’d love to know more about the painting. I found this site through Google, and also saw so many other lovely works while searching. Congratulations on a Beautiful talent, Mrs Wright!

      Hello, Angela S.

      Thanks for contacting us about mom’s art…she always likes to hear from people who enjoy her work…I’ve talked with her about your query, and she doesn’t remember this particular print…would you be able to email a photo to the address below? Also, what is the size of the print, including the matting?

      Mom has been very prolific over the years, and so many products, including many prints, have been licensed from her work that we have trouble keeping track of it all!

      Thanks again and all the best…

    Hello, I recently bought a print of three bluebirds playing golf, called “On the Greens”. It is signed twice and has 1167/1950 in pencil. It is in mint condition on heavy paper in plastic sleeve. I found it among some papers at an estate sale. I didn’t find any other art such as this in the collection at the sale. I haven’t been able to find anything on the internet about this particular print. Can you tell me anything about it? My husband and I play golf and it makes me smile–it is such a fun print!

      Hello, Jodi Koon…

      I’m glad you enjoy “On the Greens”…the original of that print is one of a number that mom did in the 1980s in a series of humorous paintings called “Bird Life”…you can see originals of a few in that series in the ArtFire studio at http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/studio/CShoresInc/1/7/16017//

      The prints from that series have been very popular…we hope in the future to be offering more of the originals and prints in the series for sale on ArtFire and other venues…

        Hello, Mr. McLean, and thank you for your comment…the number “1127” means you have print #1127 out of the 1950 that were printed in that particular run…the c88 indicates a 1988 copyright date…over the years mom’s art has many licensed for hundreds of items, including many prints such as the one you have. We have no way to determine the current value of any of those items.

    Hi. This mornng I purchased at a yard sale three nicely framed and backed prints dated 1994. One is a cup and saucer with leaves, another one is a plate with the green leaves, and the last one is a tea pot decorated with leaves.When I saw them, I said, you are coming home with me. My wife thought I was crazy paying $15.00 for the three. I said I will find a place or send them to my daughter.
    They are very nice and were done in 1994. Were they originals or part of a numbered collection, it does not show anything other than the name, and 94.

    Thank you so much. They are very distinctive.

    Hi Carolyn,
    I pray you get this. I found one of your prints framed at a Goodwill in Ballyntine, NC and it was a “blessing” that was meant “for me” to find, even though your beautiful work was given up and found in a Goodwill.
    The print is of an Eastern Bluebird wearing a cowboy hat sitting on a wooden horse. Do you remember it? Painted in ’93 it notes on picture.
    Well, the reason it was made for me is because I always loved eastern bluebirds; however, I lived in Houston, TX for over 40 years and never saw one.
    When I moved to Rock Hill, SC in 2005, I saw my first furry, chubby little friend at the park across from my duplex while there with my grandson, Dominic. I went ecstatic with joy!!! They are so sweet and beautiful!! The other reason your print was made for me was because after living in TX and loving it so much, I always used my email as ” txbluebird…@…”. And that was years before I found your print.
    Just recently changed my email and it is now:
    atxbluebird@gmail.com
    I am going to be 65 in October and now live in PA near Penn State University.
    I realize no one will ever appreciate your print the way or as much as I do. I want you to know it was one of those little blessings God gives me when life isn’t going all that great. He always seems to know when I need a ‘pick me up’. I appreciate the little things in life and absolutely LOVE nature with a passion.
    I have no idea why you painted the bluebird cowboy or what inspired you; but I assure you it will stay with me till I die and then go to my only grandchild, Dominic, who is my joy & greatest gift of my life. He’s almost 17 and still lives in SC.
    So, “Thank You Carolyn” for painting a blessing that truly was made for me, even though it took a long time for it to reach me. God’s plan in His time.
    Your work is beautiful – amazing in many ways. Congratulations on your success and your blessed talents.
    I’m a quilter and quilt designer. I’ve painted in the past also (not nearly as beautifully as you), but love fabric so much more. Hope to publish my quilt designs soon – my how the days pass too quickly. Lol
    If you’re ever in the Penn State area, please email me, I would love to meet you.
    Wishing you many blessings, good health and success,
    Lana W.

    Hello Carolyn-

    I recently purchased your artwork called ‘Backyard Chef’ which depicts a chicken grilling food over a fire.
    It was drawn in 1987. I have number 556 out of 1950.
    Is this a watercolor that was reproduced? How was that done? Is it different from a lithograph?
    What are the items the chicken is cooking? I get the impression it may be a satire about carnivores.

    Regards,

    Austin

      Hello, Austin Morrill. Thank you for your inquiry about mom’s artwork. “Backyard Chef” is one of a number of paintings mom has done over the years in her “Bird Life” series that feature birds in human settings. You can see many of them in the Etsy and ArtFire shops where mom’s work is available. Lithographic prints have been licensed from many of mom’s paintings and in this case you have print #556 from a print run of 1950. I doubt mom had much specific in mind about the nature of the meal being cooked! Thanks again for contacting us; mom always likes to hear from people who enjoy her work.

      Hello & thank you for your inquiry. Sorry to be so long in responding. The item you have is called “Hot Tub” and is one of many in mom’s “Bird Life” series featuring humorous bird scenes. Companions to this particular one are “Holiday Cruise” with a pair of birds in a pool and “Drifting” with a bird floating in an inner tube. The print you have is a signed print–one signature is part of the print run and mom actually signed your print in pencil. You have print #68 from a run of 1000. Thanks again for your interest in mom’s art!

    My husband and I just hung 2 of Carolyn’s prints in our dining room. One is a pear and berries and the other a peach and grapes, both on black ground. We acquired them at a church sale this morning. They are gorgeously matted and framed and we absolutely love them. We don’t find a copyright or date on them but in looking on line I believe they are some of her earlier works. Could you give us an approximate date they were painted or any other information you might know about them. What a talent!

      Thank you for your interest in mom’s art! These two items, “Apple & Grapes” and “Pear & Raspberries” were painted in 1998 at the request of her licensing company at the time. The black background is unusual for mom. She has painted many fruits and vegetables over the years but no others with such a background. The title and date information is on the prints you have but hidden by the mats and frames. Thanks again for your comments; mom always loves to hear from people who enjoy her work!

My question is: Could you ask Carolyn what inspired her to paint the bluebird cowboy on the wooden horse? It’s titled: The Lone Rider.

I asked mom about inspiration for “The Lone Rider”, and she said as with most things she paints she doesn’t really know where the ideas come from. This particular piece is one of many in her “Bird Life” series of humorous or whimsical bird paintings. You can see others in our Etsy and ArtFire shops.

        Thank you for responding. I appreciate your time. One more question…IF I have time, may I use THE LONE RIDER print I have, painted by your mother, to design a quilt? It would probably be a wall hanging size or lap size (if overly ambitious). I need her permission, of course, hoping it turns out well and I can then enter it in various quilt shows. If entered in any shows, I will give ‘inspiration credit’ to your mother and notify you, if required by Carolyn Wright, when I enter the piece and/or if any recognition is given, so she can share in the credit and joy! No rush, it’s something I’ve considered since the last comment to you. Thank you,

      Mom’s work would usually be dated with a small “c” in a circle and the last two digits of the year, such as “86” for 1986, Is this information at the end of her signature? Perhaps under the mat? Without seeing the painting, we really can’t offer any more help. Mom has been very prolific over the years If you wish, email an image to cshoresinc at gmail.com and we’ll try to help further. Thanks for your interest in mom’s work.

    Have many pieces of Carolyn’s art. I even met her once in Huntsville at an art show. My step daughter lived there and we were attending the show. I know it was 25 years ago at least. I hope you’re doing well and always think if you with a smile when I look at your art.
    Sincerely,

    Hello Carolyn,
    Someone found a picture of yours at an auction. It’s of birds at a hair salon. They are giving it to me as a gift although I haven’t recieve it yet. They sent me a picture of it via text. I am a hairstylist and own a salon. I’m beyond excited to receive this picture to proudly hang in my shop.
    Thank you for sharing your talents,
    Shana Halley

    Good Day
    I came across “Slumber Party” and my hubby and I both fell in love with the painting!
    We live in South Africa. Do you sell your paintings as a pdf or something like that? We want to have it printed on canvas.

    Kind regards
    Liesel Bawden

        Thank you Jay 🙂
        My problem, however, is that it would cost me R1000 to ship from Alabama to South Africa.
        Is there a way that you could sell me a digital version of “Slumber Pary” that I can then download and have printed here in SA?
        Your mom has such a gift, and now that I’ve seen her art, nothing else will match up!

        Items would not be shipped from Alabama. Fine Art America has several order fulfillment locations around the world. You would need to check on their web site to see what shipping of particular items to South Africa would cost. We do not offer digital images.

    I acquired a print of two lovely bluebirds on a flowering branch. It is numbered 334/1950. It has a printed signature and c89. Below that is an actual pencil signature by Carolyn. Can you tell me if this type of signed print has a name in the art world? It is a lovely watercolor print and very well framed. Thanks. Lynn

      Hello…such prints are known as signed prints. One signature is part of the print run; the second, pencil signature is added by the artist to that particular print. Thanks for your interest in mom’s art!

    Hi Carolyn, I purchased one of your beautiful pieces of art at a thrift store. Tapestry. It spoke to me! Someone had it beautifully matted and framed. I’m sure it must have meant very much to them…and now I have the honor of viewing it every day. Your art is exceptional!

    Hi Carolyn. Some lovely friends of yours came into my store and shared with me a bit about your art and your story. I found it quite inspiring. I love nature, gardening, birds, and fairies.
    I currently own two lovely pieces of your art work. I was told your husband was a writer and I love to read as well. Could you perhaps provide me with any links or recommendations on any of your husbands books to read?
    Thank you and god bless.

    I am a big fan of Carolyn Shores Wright artwork. I went online and purchased the Christmas card of the bluebirds caroling. I was so excited to receive the cards that I had ordered until I came to that card. It had the first and last bird cut off and the only part of the signature showing was “es Wright”. I contacted Fine Art America where I had purchased the card and they just sent back if they reprinted the card it would look the same. I just thought you might want to know how some of your cards are being sent out. I am very frustrated with them and not feeling that I will order through them again. Also when I received the envelope it was not sealed. I feel like I wasted my money on a card that I wouldn’t feel good about giving to anyone!!!

      Thank your for your interest in mom’s work. Sorry for the problem with your Fine Art America order, which is our fault not FAA’s. Many of mom’s images do not fit completely on FAA products without reducing them too much. However, I have tried to have complete images on greeting cards and missed this one. If you would email us at cshoresinc at gmail.com and give us your mailing address, we’ll be happy to send you some items with mom’s art as an apology.
