2020 I started the year with a month of art making on the theme of including a sculpture, or what I think is sculpture in each artwork. Perhaps because my father was a sculptor and metals artist I have quite a lot of sculpture and I have an appreciation for sculpture.  

The show in February 2020 was at CDCP Project Space317 S Trenton Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Just before COVID 19 shut everything down. 

About the venue: Casey Droege of Casey Droege Cultural Productions (CDCP) expanded from the still current Small Mall space 5300 Butler St Lawrenceville into the former Percolate Gallery space Wilkinsburg in summer of 2019. The director of Percolate Gallery Space Carolyn Pierotti stayed on as a key partner in Droege’s Wilkinsburg expansion named CDCP Project Space.

You might know Casey for her programs mixing 5 minute artist presentations with chefs in various locations titled Six x Ate. You can subscribe to her Six x Ate eblast  here so you won’t miss one.  lor and Gouache. El Anatsui design for façade of Carnegie Museum of Art 2013-14, Carnegie International.

Fox Chapel Living article: Carol Skinger Art Exhibition at Library.

August 12, 2017

Thanks to Fox Chapel Living (August 2017 issue) editor Lisa Corna for featuring my solo art show in the magazine.  My solo show at Cooper Siegel Community Library was on display for 18 months ending March 15, 2018. As artworks sold people took them home the same day.  The library benefited 25% on each sale which included original paintings, prints and greeting cards. Many of the artworks were created to show things in the area, especially near the Fox Chapel Area School District: Fox Chapel, O’hara, Sharpsburg, Aspinwall, Blawnox and Indiana Township.
