BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1948 in the USA, Maryland artist, Carol Carpenter has pursued an extensive art career in painting with a devotion to teaching art. A graduate of Antioch University with a dual major in Art and Psychology, she paints in the style of Abstract Expressionism. She has exhibited her paintings in solo and collective exhibitions worldwide, receiving many awards for her talent.
She is an intuitive painter inspired by the ever changing elements and beauty in nature. She enjoys abstracting and redefining forms to create new images that strike a balance between imagination and reality. Employing multi-media techniques in oil, acrylic, ink and watercolor paint on a variety of surfaces, she uses Color as her primary focus to transmit energy, meaning and emotion in her compositions.
“Creating works of art is a compelling life force. It encompasses passion, spontaneity, intellect and self-discovery. My art is not politically sensitive or culturally eye opening. It is simply meant to appeal to the senses and heighten the human experience”

Creating works of art is a compelling life force. It encompasses passion, spontaneity, intellect and self-discovery. My art is not politically or culturally eye-opening. It is simply meant to appeal to the senses and heighten the human experience.
Inspired by the ever-changing elements and beauty in nature, I enjoy abstracting and reinventing familiar forms to create new images that strike a balance between imagination and reality. Employing multi-media techniques in oil, acrylic, ink, and watercolor paint on a variety of surfaces, I use color as my primary focus to transmit energy, meaning and emotion in my art.
