Carol Rainey Fox

Oil and Acrylic Artist

Carol's philosophy is why paint and be creative if we can not follow our impulses and instincts. Her art style is extremely vibrant with fearless use of color. Her bold color choices give even the simplest objects in her paintings character and life. Her subject matter varies from people to pears to pigs. She paints with oils and acrylics when working on canvas. Working on wood and tin has become one of her recent endeavors.

Carol's desire to be an artist developed when she was a young child and it lead her to receive a BFA degree in drawing and painting at the University of Georgia. After attending college she lived in Africa and Spain. She has also traveled extensively in Cambodia and in many countries in Europe.

Traveling has helped to open her eyes and mind to unique cultures and different types of art. Carol feels that living and traveling in various countries has greatly influenced her art work.
