It is with extreme sadness that we announce Carolyn Schaefer's passing yesterday. Carolyn served on the Board of NYCCG from 2006 - 2008. Carolyn founded the Harlem Rose Garden located at 4 East 129th street, and was an enthusiastic, persevering member of the Greenthumb Summer Festival, which took place in Harlem in 2013 & 2014.
Carolyn was also an acclaimed photographer (excerpt from her facebook page below) which took place in Harlem in 2013 & 2014. A memorial service, to take place in the Harlem Rose Garden, will be announced soon.
Our prayers are with her family and friends.
Carolyn Schaefer is a photographer who has been based in New York City for over twenty years, though her work with the New York Times and American Photography magazine have taken her to all corners of the globe. Her commercial, editorial and fine art work are united by a careful attention to architecture and design.
