Artist Statement
My creative process is an act of self-actualization with imagery that is both representational and abstract. I work in different mediums depending on how expression beckons, and allow myself to be taken over by the creative impulse. Unplanned results provide fruitful abstract imagery from which to dig further. These paintings are a result of such endeavors.
Indoor studio activities include printmaking and painting. Bookbinding and Book Arts also occupy a corner of the studio. I have created hundreds of sketchbooks for travelling and casual drawing. Summertime find me outdoors painting en plein air.
Carol studied at the All of Us Art Workshop as a youth where she learned the old master’s technique of oil painting and attended live figure drawing sessions. She continued her formal Art education at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, majoring in painting and art glass, and attended a semester abroad in Cortona, Italy, where she returns to on a regular basis. Traveling has been a passion for Carol, she has explored many European towns with her handmade sketchbooks and painting rig in tow. She has attended numerous workshops and residencies, among the Pilchuck Glass Center, Center for Book Arts, Women’s Studio Workshop and The Cortona Studies Abroad program. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, and at her studio in the Anderson Arts building.
