About Carol
Painting outside, with oils and pastels, enables Carol to capture the effect of the colors in sunlight and shadow. By using a full palette of rich color, Carol captures the mood and subject of her paintings while inviting the viewers to look closer at the colors seen as compared to what is perceived.
biography
Carol began drawing and painting at an early age and has had the good fortune of studying art — drawing and painting — in classes and workshops presented by a number of accomplished and professional artists over the years. For the past eleven years, Carol has traveled abroad, painting the landscapes of Brittany, France, Spain, Belgium, Cornwall England, Italy and Guadeloupe. Her Art Studio, where she teaches classes to adults and children, is located in Beaver, PA, a historic town situated near the Beaver and Ohio Rivers. Painting on location and working in all kinds of weather creates peak experiences and a sensual depth to the paintings. "Feeling the atmosphere and energy surrounding me are almost as important in the painting process as the actual subject itself," says the artist. Carol loves the magical illusion of sunlight and shadows under changing weather conditions and the juxtaposing of complimentary colors for greater brilliance in achieving the vibrant character of an impressionistic landscape. Carol is represented by Boxheart Gallery in Bloomfield. She is a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Artists, the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, the Portrait Society of America, signature member of the Pastel Society of America, and the Oil Painters of America. She has participated in numerous juried and group shows nationally, locally, including the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. She has won several awards and her paintings are in a number of private collections.
