About The Artist "As an artist, I want the viewer to be drawn to my paintings for their subject matter, the rich color, texture, and the use of light and shadow. I want the scene to evoke emotion, and allow the viewer to experience the atmosphere created."
Following graduation, Carolee studied under the very talented watercolorist, Harold Petersen. It was here that she came to love the medium of watercolor. She states, "Watercolor has a look and feel like no other medium. It can be very accurate and precise, or loose and spontaneous. I use layers of transparent glazes. It can be time consuming, but the rich color can be achieved no other way." Her work has been exhibited at the Springville Art Museum and has received many honors. Carolee is also the painter of "Birth of a Prayer" - a painting commissioned by the musical artist Sting. |
