Hello! My name Is Carole.
The last 25 years I have dedicated myself to teaching students about the arts and now, in this next chapter of my life, I am a full time artist in Maine. The process of making art is a joyful experience for me. I create landscapes on canvas and wood panels using acrylic paints. My inspiration comes from observing the beauty found in the light, colors and shapes of nature which I feature throughout my work. My pieces all share a unique quality of bright colors and textured backgrounds.
Birch trees are my absolute favorite subject matter as well as landscapes, sunrises/sunsets and florals. I often enhance colors and composition to capture a moment or feeling. I want to share with my viewers what I see and feel with my heart, expressing the moments of joy in the world around me.
I earned my M.Ed in Integrated Arts in 2021. My passion for art & teaching has recently been redirected into a new creative journey. I have dreamed of opening a local art studio that not only features my artwork but also the work of other independent artists as well as a space designed to facilitate art experiences for all ages. With hard work and perseverance, that dream has become a reality in the Belgrade Lakes Region. Sparkle Art Studio LLC opened for the 2024 summer season through October 2024! I feel so blessed to share the work of over 20 New England artists and offer a space for the community to come and “find their sparkle” in a one of a kind artwork for their home or through creating their own art. We will open for our second season with more artists and more art experiences for all ages starting in June of 2025!
Art has always been an outlet for me to keep focused on the good found in everyday moments. Whether you own a mini painting or one of my oversized canvases, when you display one of my artworks in your own home, I hope it offers you a daily reminder of the good that today brings!
