Carol Bardzell, originally from Connecticut, received her BFA in photography from Montserrat College of Art in 2011. After her first couple of visits to Maryland, she found interest in the vast number of abandoned properties and farmland. Having always been fascinated by abandoned structures, what’s left behind, and how nature takes back these places, she decided the eastern shore of Maryland would be the perfect location for her senior seminar project. Today, Carol currently resides on the Eastern Shore of Maryland with her husband and two cats.
