MARCH 26 - MAY 16, 2021
March 26, 2021 - May 16, 2021
The first career retrospective exhibit of works by Carole Myers features six decades of paintings on paper and canvas by the experimental artist. Carole, a native of Oklahoma also lived in El Paso, St. Louis, and San Antonio during her lifetime. She was a signature member of the American Watercolor Society and the National Watercolor Society and was also active in the San Antonio Watercolor Group and Texas Watercolor Society (Purple Sage Brush Life Member). A recipient of more than 300 awards, including the High Winds Medal Award in the 122nd Annual Exhibition of AWS, her work is included in “The Best of Watercolor”, “Creative Watercolor, Step by Step”, “The Creative Artist”, “Abstracts in Watercolor”, “Texas Watercolor Society: Fifty Years of Excellence”, and “Watercolor Magic”, to name a few. She served as a juror and critic for exhibitions and taught numerous art workshops in Rockport, San Antonio, Laredo, Fort Worth, Kerrville and throughout the U.S. as well as in Mexico, Spain and France. Known for experimental watercolor and collage techniques, her style is abstract, using watercolor, mixed-media collage, and acrylic on paper as well as acrylic and collage on canvas. Southwestern landscapes and Mexico were major sources of inspiration: she travelled extensively, sketchbook or camera always close at hand.
“I express both the vast panoramic views and intimate bits of nature with a spiritual response, rather than a literal interpretation.”
- Carole Myers (1934-2017)
