Carolyn Meyer, MFA, a
California native now living in Marin County, paints the
landscape of the North Bay with a brilliant use of color, shadow
and light. She is considered one of the Bay Area's premiere
colorists and plein- air painters.
Carolyn's interpretation of
a landscape, using bold strokes and an overall loose feel,
allows her to capture the essence of a place with just the right
amount of realism. Although
her work shows the influence of 19th century sensibilities of
European and Early California Impressionism, she is often
compared with the Society of Six, a group of artists know for
plein air painting in the Bay Area in the 20s and 30s.
Carolyn teaches at
the Academy of Art University in San Francisco where she is also Director
of Galleries and Assistant Director of Fine Art
Painting.

Cigar Box Paintings
Carolyn has hand selected some favorite Cigar
Boxes
and painted wonderful oil landscapes on their
lids.
They have hooks and are "ready to hang" on the
wall like a painting,
or can be displayed (or used!) on a table top or
shelf. Unique.

After high school,
Caroline went directly to Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The
terrain and climate change was a relief from the scorching desert. Trips
to the Grand Canyon and skiing in the winter were highlights, however
soon she was in San Francisco at the Academy of Art college where she
has earned both BFA and MFA degrees.
Her work is in
private and corporate collections in the United States, Europe and Asia.
