Carol Armstrong
American, Hawaii-Based Artist

Born in California, Carol presently resides on Hawaii where her studio overlooks the lush tropical landscape of the beautiful Island of Maui. "I am constantly inspired by sunsets, rainbows, and the jewel colors of the coastal waters-all outside my windows."

Working primarily in acrylic, she also uses watercolor in plein-air for field sketching and in finished works. "Painting on location forces me to work intuitively, quickly capturing the basic composition and color relationships in a scene."

As a romantic impressionist painter, Carol creates works of art enticing viewers into a realm blending fantasy and realism. Finding the imagined irresistible, mermaids, fairies, dragons and other mystical creatures are often seen tantalizing children and adults alike.

"I am attracted to the feeling of an image, its ability to stir up emotions, whether it is a passionate moment between two people embraced on a beach at sunset, a still life that conveys a sense of warm comfort, or an abstract interpretation of spiritual expression."

Carol began selling her artwork in high school and has been exhibiting in galleries ever since. For almost three decades her images have been acquired by corporate and private collectors worldwide, and reproduced as prints, greeting cards, collectors plates, and magazine covers.
