About the Artist
|  | |
Educated as a businesswoman in New York City, Carol Frances had a career in marketing. Her last business endeavor was owning her own company, which was acquired in 2000. After the terror attacks of 9/11, she decided to pursue a direction with more purpose and meaning; she chose to pursue her long-time passion for art by learning to paint. Given this new opportunity, she threw herself wholeheartedly into painting classes and workshops, honing her skills and in 2004 began submitting her work to show. Since then, her work has been included in many regional and national juried exhibitions, awarded prizes, published and sold to public and private collections. She is also a selected member of the Connecticut Women Artists and the New Haven Paint & Clay Club.
Carol's oil paintings, many of which have roots in pattern and decoration, are richly layered with a variety of mixed media including gold leaf, photo transfer and text. The artist, whose current work focuses on dresses, flowers and birds, loves the metaphoric meaning and poetic potential of simple objects.
