Carolynne Velasco ~ Acrylic Paintings
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 artwork.
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 and in watercolour on paper.
I paint from sketches, photos taken, and vivid memories of my experiences.
While attending the University of Arizona, I took several geology courses. The sculptural and colorful results in geological formations and in the geographical environment they inhabit are captivating and often determine the “style” of a particular painting I am working on.
My paintings often intersect impression and abstraction. Painting is about relationships of color. Light to dark shapes and the movement of brushstrokes create moods that foster the viewer’s perception and connection with the painting and with 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”.
