The work of Carolyn Keskulla (1912-2003) was exhibited in museums and galleries all over the United States, including the Library of Congress, the San Francisco Museum, the Cleveland Museum, the Butler Art Institute, and Riverside Museum (NY), and the major museums of New Jersey, where she lived before moving to Santa Fe in 1976. Her work is unusually varied, ranging through oils, watercolors, collages, graphics, and sculpture. Her watercolors, which have a fresh, vibrant, quality, are perhaps predominant, but the woodcuts and etchings are next.

She received many prizes in juried exhibitions, and her work is in public and private collections throughout the country. Her watercolors, woodcuts, and etchings were shown in many one-person exhibitions in galleries, libraries, colleges, etc., over a period of years. Several traveling exhibitions included her work, such as the Associated Artists of New Jersey (of which she was president), the New Jersey Water Color Society, Artists Equity Association, and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. She worked for many years to improve the status of Art and Artists in that state.

After her move to New Mexico in 1976 her work took on a southwestern flavor, especially in renderings of the high mountains, canyons, and mesas, where she and her husband spent many pleasant years hiking and backpacking with the Sierra Club. Her prints and paintings appeared in various galleries in Santa Fe. In 1985 her work was included in an exhibition of the work of American women in Nairobi, Kenya.
