Carolyn Lenihan is a native Rhode Island  artist that has enjoyed working in many mediums over her life. She studied painting with Providence’s own Gino Conti as a child and attended Southwark University in London for art and  fashion design. Her artistic expression was altered 20 years ago when she suffered an injury that left her with the chronic pain disorder Reflex Sympathetic Nerve Dystrophy and her limited abilities allow only limited work which she prefers to donate. Miss Lenihan could not be more pleased to add AIDS Care Ocean State to that small group.
