ABOUT THE ARTIST

 

Carole Barnes     acrylic on paper   36" x 28"  

"My new work is based on my intrigue with mythology, symbols and ancient times and places. By using acrylic paint on paper, I can layer, scratch, lift off and evolve the images until the painting communicates with my feelings and sensitivities. The symbols become a mysterious language melded with color - buried and then emerging to the surface again. With this process I can explore, experiment and search for the essence that moves me most. I hope my personal visions and my love of painting will evoke a response from you - my viewers."
