Carrie Stuart Parks is an award-winning watercolorist and internationally known forensic artist and instructor.
In 1981, Carrie began working as a part time forensic artist for the North Idaho Regional Crime Lab in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Four years later she attended a composite drawing class taught by the FBI, and became the first composite artist in her area. Soon Carrie's peers were asking her to share her knowledge with them. Carrie developed a sure-fire and condensed instructional course to teach anyone—whatever age or skill level—how to create realistic portraits.
Carrie and her husband, Rick, travel across the nation teaching composite drawing courses to FBI and Secret Service agents, law enforcement agencies and civilian adults and children. Carrie has won numerous awards for excellence for her instruction and general career excellence.
Carrie's strikingly realistic composites have helped successfully identify and capture suspects across the country, including serial murders, rapists, white supremacists and bombers. Carrie's composites have also been featured on America's Most Wanted and 20/20.
Rick and Carrie (Stuart) Parks reside on a 680-acre ranch in North Idaho where Carrie grew up. You may contact her by e-mail at banjoart@nidlink.com or at her Web site http://www.imbris.net/~banjoart/table.html
