Mary Carol (MC) Sullivan is an artist and art director with wildly impressive graphic design skills.
From her Sarasota Florida studio, she works with commercial clients across the country to enhance brands and their messages for traditional print, grand format and digital applications.
Additionally, she creates and offers her fine art.
Grand format refers to large-scale graphics and printing used for oversized applications such as building and window installations, trade show displays, store signage, outdoor signs, interior decor, banners, vehicle wraps, and billboards. The purpose of using grand format is to achieve high visibility, create strong visual impact, and enhance brand recognition, while providing versatile, durable, and customizable advertising solutions.
Print refers to graphics designed for offset printing (when content is transferred from a plate onto the printed surfaces) or digital print (when electronic files are sent directly to a printing device, which applies ink or toner onto the substrate according to supplied digital data). Offset printing is mostly used for producing high-quality, consistent, and/or cost-effective large-volume runs. It provides a tangible physical experience, and an impression of credibility – while capturing attention effectively, reaching specific audiences directly, and reinforcing brand identity. It has a longer shelf life then digital printing or impressions. Digital printing is most cost-effective for small print runs, offers quick turnaround times, and can produce high-quality prints with vibrant colors and sharp images. It allows for easy customization and personalization, minimizes waste, and supports a wide range of materials and substrates. Additionally, digital printing enables on-demand printing, reducing the need for large inventories and storage costs, and is more environmentally friendly due to its efficient use of ink and reduced waste.
Mary Carol's artistic life is a vibrant tapestry of creativity that began in childhood. She studied at Carnegie Mellon University achieving her BFA in 1986 with an emphasis on painting and print making. While there she was exposed to design technology in its infancy. Upon graduation, armed with intuitive design and color sensibilities, and innate managerial skills, she dove into a commercial art career while continuing to paint. Her fine art expression persists with a keen sense of color and line. Her creations resonate with emotive colors and evocative forms. Her art invites viewers into a world where imagination offers a glimpse of beauty that transcends ordinary. Mary Carol recently received a Practitioners Certificate in Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapy and has plans to help others with their wellness challenges through creative expression.
