Rangeley, Maine resident, Carol P. Sullivan, will have an art show of her paintings on silk and a selection of hand-dyed silk scarves at River Arts on Route 1 in Damariscotta this summer from July 7-27. Please stop by to see her uniques works of art if you happen to be in the mid-coast Maine area.
Carol has enjoyed a long career of creating fiber art in many iterations. The medium of painting on silk with dye has rekindled a love that she was introduced to 25 years ago. She finds no shortage of inspiration to translate to her chosen medium of silk and dye. Carol is a graduate of the Maryland Institute College of Art and over the years has continued her artistic journey through workshops and classes in a variety of mediums.
She specializes in the unique world that is Maine and the title of her show, ‘Eyes Wide Open”, defines her journey. As Carol says, “Take a moment, rest your eyes on something of beauty, of mystery, of wonder…rest your eyes, even as they are wide open, on the beauty that surrounds you. Do what you can to preserve that beauty…as I have honored that beauty and wonder with my paintings on silk.” Where she takes us from here promises be a wondrous experience as we learn from Carol to see the world with our eyes wide open! She welcomes inquiries about special commissions. To find out more about Carol’s silk paintings, please visit her website at www.carolsullivansilkartist.com
