About the artist.....
Carolyn M Abrams is a mixed media artist from upstate New York presently residing in Lenox, MA. Both areas well known for amazing light and sunsets. Her work is an exploration of the wisdom of art that she finds as a passionate artist. Intuition has always guided her in her exploration of the spiritual and physical worlds through art. An enthusiastic learner, new techniques and unique art materials drive her work to best express this passion for creativity in her ethereal and peaceful nature-inspired paintings. From the natural world that surrounds the area in which she lives, to the bell that is rung by a lyric or poem, each work reveals the elements of impressionism and abstraction. Feelings of hope and harmony are ever present in her atmospheric work which attracts many of her collectors to follow her on her journey.
Carolyn's art has been selected for exhibitions at Saint Peter's Church in New York City, locally in the Capital Region and the Berkshires, online and in various magazines and art publications such as The Artful Mind in the Berkshires, Still Point Gallery in Maine, The Edge of Faith and the Spiritual Director's Institute located in Bellevue, Washington. She is passionate about sharing her work and has been a community art facilitator for many years in community organizations including the VA of Albany, The ARC of NYS, The Arts Center of the Capital Region, and local libraries and nursing/ rehabilitation centers as well as facilitating women's workshops and day retreats.
