| Carol Sebold lives on the
coast of Maine, surrounded by and inspired by some of the world's
most breathtaking scenery. Her watercolors and oils of coastal fishing
villages and their boats, as well as her evocative landscapes of
the New England countryside, speak of the singular beauty of this
corner of the world.
On her far-reaching travels, Carol seeks out and paints other
special places where nature's palette and perspective are as stunning,
in their own way, as they are in Maine. Among these are the islands
of the Caribbean, for which she has developed a particular affinity.
More atmospheric than realistic, Carol's watercolors begin with
sketches and photographs done on location. Later, employing a
wet technique on rag paper, she develops them into full-blown
paintings.
Her fragile brush-work, created through a delicate building of
thin layers of watercolors, suggests the impressionistic while
subtly retaining a quality of nature. Carol's style also lends
itself to treatment in oils. In addition, she enjoys exploring
the possibilities of the abstract through the use of mixed media,
primarily acrylic or watercolor combined with a variety of fibers.
Carol has taught throughout her career, sharing her artistic
vision and helping her students harness their own talents. She
taught for several years in Ohio and southern Michigan, and currently
conducts summertime workshops aboard one of Maine's famous windjammers,
"Angelique", and teaches classes, on the Maine coast
under the auspices of the highly regarded Wooden Boat School.

Carol's work has been selected for many juried shows and is exhibited
in galleries throughout the eastern United States and the Caribbean.
Numerous private and corporate collections both in America and
abroad also include her work.
To make her art as accessible as possible, she has re-created
selected original paintings as fine limited-edition prints, and
they are available as numbered prints, signed by the artist.
