Carol Currie

short work description:

Carol’s artistic focus is the barren landscape.
“Quite simply, I paint ‘the rock’, as I experienced them for so many years…. Barren, Peaceful, Powerful, Permanent, Ancient, Secluded, Serene, Contemplative.
To this day, it is the untamed wilderness that leaves me with a feeling of profound solitude.
This feeling is what I try to capture in my paintings.”
