Prints
Giclee (pronounced Gee'clay) is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is how an inkjet printer works. However, it is not the same as a standard desktop inkjet printer, and is much larger and more detailed. Giclee prints can be a little over a meter wide and are printed on high quality archival papers. Giclee is the best way to produce archival reproductions of fine art and photography. The inks used are archival certified and when treated properly, will last a lifetime. The way the image is scanned is also different. The original is scanned directly on a drum scanner or large flatbed. This gives the best representation of the original work of art.
The prices are based on the actual size of the painting but other sizes are available. Contact us if interested. Allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. Prices do not include shipping.

Why I do it
I was born in Washington, D.C., shaped by my Cuban heritage. After my family settled in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I grew up exploring creativity, identity, and expression. I trained in graphic design and photography at the Massachusetts College of Art.
I have no agenda—my aim is simply to connect. I use humor, satire, idiosyncrasy, and a mix of visual “art-isms” to do it. There is no theoretical meaning behind my work, only the impulse to communicate and celebrate the human in all of us.
My subjects drive the work. They are drawn from everyday life, events, people, places, and the thoughts and emotions that have absorbed me. My goal is to communicate to the viewer that if you slow down and look closely, you can discover the sublime and profound in the human experience—as if the work is giving you a nudge, a handshake, a wink, or a sigh of relief.
I refuse to be tethered to theory. Words and rules can bind creativity; visual art exists outside of language. My work is an authentic expression where the container—the form—happens organically depending on the content. Honestly, I just want to do it. Sometimes the “why” is hard to explain, but it doesn’t matter—the work itself says it all.
"Carolina was contracted to produce a 3-D full wall mural (17'x 9') that focused on teaching and learning for the front foyer of my corporate headquarters. The uniqueness of her thought process and her style lent itself perfectly to our business image. Visitors to our office are in awe of the work, it is truly an iconic piece."
Rob Sugarman, CEO TEQ Inc.
"In "Something Stinks Here" a work that is part political cartoon, part graphic pattern Marquez-Sterling takes on the Anita Hill hearings in an elaborate coal mining metaphor. This painting scrolls across a phalanx of gray-faced legislators. The only spectrum color in this work is in its foreground margins where Ms. Hill is executed in warm reddish browns directs her diagonal beam of her pith helmet onto a bright yellow canary, belly-up on the center of the table. Smartly composed, witty, polished, this work delivers it punch without apology to the landscapes, still life’s and flowers all around."
Patricia Rosoff, Hartford Advocate
"Carolina’s work is as joyous and luminous as she is. Her paintings come from a true place where artist connects deeply with her subject(s). Describing a “Carolina” is describing her – colorful, intense, happy and soulful. Her compositions are unusually dynamic. No posing necessary. She paints from the heart. You will be blown away by her spot-on intuitive sense of depicting a subject’s way of life, either actual or desired. We own five “Carolina’s” and have commissioned three more as gifts."

Carolina's work has been called "joyous," "vigorous," and "provocative." A humorous youthful boldness engulfs the viewer like a mid-day Caribbean Sun.
