She is internationally known for her award-winning fine-art quilts, which are easily recognized by their luminous colours and illusions of light, depth, and motion. Her attention to detail has earned her a reputation for fine craftsmanship and stunning designs. Her quilt, Corona 2: Solar Eclipse was voted one of the hundred best quilts of the 20th Century. Caryl's work has appeared in hundreds of exhibitions and publications throughout the world, and can be found in museum, corporate, public, and private collections in almost every US state and in eight other countries.
