Carole Arnston is a West Coast artist with a multi-faceted background in art, architecture and design.
After a Bachelor of Arts degree and a ten-year career as a registered architect, Carole turned to painting full-time. Her empathy with the powerful messages of the landscape takes form in a dynamically-charged gestural style. Dramatic images of wind, sea and alpine meadows are rendered with a broad brush, subtle colour blending and painting knives. They invite the viewer to look closer.
In the past fifteen years of painting, Carole's bold and energetic style has developed from the abstract impressionist influences of Helen Frankenthaler, Joan Mitchell and Georgia O'Keefe, and the earlier influences of Manet and Monet.
