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.
