About the Artist

Carol Carbine has been working as a professional painter for over 20 years, and has lived in the Santa Barbara area since the summer of 1993. She is currently residing in the Santa Ynez Valley. Inspired by the dynamic quality of light and air in this part of California, she paints on location in the plein air tradition.

The views are quite spectacular, says Carol and the variety of subject matter is incredible - from the ocean to mountains, to rolling hills, to cultivated vineyards, orchards, old oak trees, wild palms, etc. What a banquet for a painter.

Carol's work is ambitious and large in scale. Her brush strokes are vigorous and show a sense of maturity. Her feel for color infuses her paintings with remarkable energy and fresh interpretations of the beauty around her.
