"Carole Pavlo developed a body of work from a multidisciplinary perspective that illuminates the human condition. She accomplished this work miraculously while facing the most extreme health challenges throughout her career. The spiritual power that accompanies these works is a reflection of the loving relationship with her life partner, Josina Makau, for more than 40 years. We believe Ms. Pavlo's work will inspire many with its luminosity and hope."
