Carolynne Velasco
While growing up in northern California and Ontario, Canada, I had 3 strong interests, drawing, painting and horses. My family instilled a deep sense of connectedness with Nature’s ecosystems and geological history. That relationship with Nature’s ecosystems along with a deep sense of responsibility is at the core of my art work.
I’ve lived in and explored incredible environments and met wonderful people from many cultures. I am predominantly a landscape artist working on both large and small canvases, as well as watercolour on paper.
I paint from sketches, photos taken and vivid memories of my experiences.
While attending University of Arizona I took a number of geology courses. The sculptural and colorful, results in geological formations and the geographical environment they are in are captivating and frequently determine the “style” of a particular painting I am working on.
My paintings are often an intersection of impression and abstraction. Painting is about relationships of color. Light to dark shapes and movement of brush strokes create moods that foster the viewer’s perception and connection with the painting and their own sense of kinship with Nature and Earth’s precious ecosystems. Perhaps evoking a reminder “… We are not the masters, but the stewards of this beautiful planet called Earth”.
