Reflections of color and form; landscapes and the human image, ever changing, ever moving, captured energy, a moment in time. 

Inspired by the Impressionist artists with their spontaneous use of color, and direct application of pigment.  While light, color, and energy are strong elements that are communicated in Carol’s work, she also imposes classic structure and composition into the final piece.  The atmosphere must be held together by the inner structure it surrounds.
