Carolyn Barone

Carolyn S. Barone, born in Trenton, Michigan, USA. From a rural Michigan upbringing, she relocated to the Los Angeles, California, area in 1981.

Her formal art studies began when she enrolled in drawing classes at the California Art Institute, Thousand Oaks, California. Under the expert instruction of artist Norm Nason, she was inspired to study portrait, figure, still life and landscape using mediums of charcoal, pastel, oil and most recently watercolor. In addition to drawing and painting with Norm Nason, she received further instruction from such accomplished artists as Neil Boyle, David Jonas, Jeremy Lipking, Ryan Wurmser and Nancy Rizzardi. She is currently focused on producing portraits in all mediums and has recently completed commissioned portraits in charcoal.
She showed her work at the 4th Annual Art Festival in Calabasas, CA, in May 2001. Her Oil “Georg Dawson” was accepted in the annual Studio Channel Island Juried Members Exhibition in 2005.

Carolyn feels it is an artist's good fortune to have studied at the California Art Institute and to be in the company of many well-known, respected artists. She is a member of the Studio Channel Island Art Center as well as a Painting Patron of the California Art Club.

Life is never dull, the creature is never bored, when he - or she - becomes the creator." ("The Pursuit of Happiness" by Pearl S. Buck,
winner of the 1938 Nobel Prize for Literature.)

I am pleased that you are taking the time to visit my studio. Whether you are most drawn to my current collection of portraits or still life, I trust you find the message I intended as I was creating the particular piece. For this is a compliment of my effort to create images that the beauty and spirit of life has to offer, images that please you, the viewer. Your interest in my work leaves me feeling inspired and content.

Most Sincerely,
Carolyn S. Barone
