About the Artist
Carole A. Glass
Expressive contemporary Art
From a young age Carole loved drawing and writing. After receiving a painting award in high school she pursued further art studies. A Bachelors of Fine Arts in design from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee led Carole to an expansive career designing marketing materials for corporate entities in Milwaukee and Los Angeles. A health scare in 2010 resulted in time to return to painting fine art full-time, initially focused on impressionistic landscapes.
In 2022 her creative path took another turn when her younger sister died suddenly. Painting became a kind of therapy, helping her work out emotions. Her work became more abstract.
Carole develops luminous layers of emotive color acrylics grounded in textures. Expressive marks dance. She also uses graphite, pastel and charcoal. These dynamic contrasts between movement and calm create images where both viewer and artist can find solace and hope. Ultimately her work is a dialogue between the unseen but felt depths of human experience, through the harmonizing of line, shape, color and texture.
Carole's art work is enjoyed by collectors nationally and is recognized for excellence and exhibited in galleries around the country. She is a Professional Member of Wisconsin Visual Artists Association and the Association of Wisconsin Artists. She is a native Wisconsinite and loves living there.
