Carolyn’s styles range from realism to abstract, and she usually combines both approaches in her paintings. Subject matter includes people, landscapes, seascapes, and flowers. Her preferred media includes watercolor, acrylic, mixed media, and oil.
About her work she says “I try not to set boundaries in painting, leaving the door open to inspiration which can come from various experiences. I feel each painting has a life of its own, and attempt to go with what each one suggests to me, such as mood, color, composition, balance, and all of the elements of art. I let the painting “speak to me”. By continually growing as an artist I feel there are no limitations to what can be achieved in the world of Art.”
