Carolyn Shaw's interest in art was inspired in 8th grade by a wonderful art teacher who taught her about the impressionist artists like Van Gogh and Cezanne who were doing paintings that were outrageous for their time. Carolyn’s landscape paintings are made in the tradition of plein air paintings where painters create artwork outside in the landscape. She usually creates her paintings using one thick coat of paint. This makes the works a bit cruder than her studio pieces, which involve first a thin under painting and then several additional layers, building a more refined surface. Her technique captures something about the landscape that speaks to people. Each of her paintings depicts a unique spot in California where Carolyn has exercised her keen observation of the trees, plant life and land, translating colors, shapes, forms and paint onto the canvas creating lively works of art for people to enjoy.
