Carole Pigott has had a 30 year career exhibiting in New Orleans, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Scottsdale, and now in Santa Fe. She is collected by Merrill Lynch, New York, The Broadmoor Resort, Colorado Springs, Bailey's Casino, Las Vegas, Senator Thad Cochran, Washington, Mississippi Museum of Art and more. Piggott is now working of a series based on the words of Eudora Welty.

"I grew up in Mississippi, moved to New Orleans, then Santa Fe in 1989. My whole attitude towards art was formed by the colony that has been wiped out by the hurricane, and my grief has been magnified by being in the middle of paintings from places that are no longer there. I had been returning South gathering material for the current project, a Eudora Welty series when the hurricane hit.  The series is a suite of paintings based on my visual images evoked by the words of the Pulitzer Prize winning author, with her permission.  I am also working on a commission for the Colorado Symphony Concert Hall in Denver.  I have been published in American Art Magazine, American Artist Pastel Annual and American Artist of Renown.''
