About
Carole Pigott (born Carole Ann Pigott, May 18, 1948) was an American impressionist and realist artist.
Born in Houston, Texas, Pigott grew up in Jackson, Mississippi and spent most of her adult life in Santa Fe, New Mexico until her death in 2019 after a long battle with cancer.
Pigott showed her divided love of the South and the Southwest in her work. Always an artist, Carole was inspired while traveling in France, the Mississippi Delta, and her beloved Santa Fe.

One of Pigott's most profound experiences came when she camped on the Gulf Coast three months after Hurricane Katrina to set up the art supply relief effort.
Pigott developed her craft from charcoals, watercolor, pastels, and oils.
An exhibition of her paintings, "The Power of Light," is currently on display in the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art in Marietta, Georgia.
Her love of the southwest is demonstrated in her paintings from her studio in the Lone Butte area outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
This "cowboy country" provided Pigott with an endless supply of long vistas and stormy skies.
