Artist Statement

Please provide a brief description of your creative process, motivations, and inspirations:

While creating her own artistic design in each painting, Carol defines her subject and paints, knowing that each brushstroke will determine the next direction on the canvas. This ability comes from within and takes time, discovery, and practice to produce unique paintings. Combining ART with life experiences, recognizing the beauty of color, the bits and pieces of life, or recalling a memory, is always captured in her paintings. Carol’s paintings, OIL Expressions, are one-of-a-kind created and transformed through brush strokes painted on each canvas. She embraces a richer and deeper lifestyle, in her ARTISTIC Expressions, which allows–the thread of creativity to intertwine through all aspects of her life.
