Carol Heiman-Greene Among Distinguished Artists at 55th Annual Waterfowl Festival
It was in college that Carol realized her love of drawing and painting could be her life’s work. She graduated from California State University, Long Beach with a BFA in illustration. Even as an illustrator her work was animal oriented, so when she decided to follow her true passion and become a fine artist specializing in wildlife, she felt confident there would be exciting adventures ahead. Carol is inspired by all aspects of nature and all of her paintings are based on personal reference. From the small and flashy hummingbirds in her back yard, to the great bison and grizzlies in Yellowstone. She explains, “I must experience my subjects first hand to see their amazing character and spirit, to make that connection to them. Wildlife never ceases to amaze me, and translating my wonder into my work is my driving force.” Working in oils, Carol uses many techniques of the Old Masters, layering in an underpainting and glazing in colors to create depth and dimension, then finishing with thicker layers of colors to bring her paintings to life. Life and Light are central to Carol’s work Her joy comes from capturing even the smallest of moments to the most dramatic that nature has to offer. Carol has been selected to be a member of: Women Artists Of The West Artists for Conservation Miniature Artists Of America
