In the first retrospective of Carolyn’s art work, over seventy five of her paintings and works on paper will be showcased. Like Henry Miller before her Carolyn draws inspiration from the grand beauty and stark isolation of Big Sur to create art that explore the wondrous mysteries of human nature and the natural world. Painting in the manner of an alchemist, Carolyn creates imaginative scenes that convey the full range of human experience from the dark to the joyous and celebratory. She sees her art as a conduit of unconscious, universal truth that can help raise our self awareness. Her joyous art draws from the diverse currents ranging from Action Painting to Surrealist Fantasy, and celebrates the unbounded capacity of the human spirit to experience, dream and imagine.
