Born in England, Carol now lives in Victoria, British Columbia, having settled there after years of traveling the world as a model and actress. Living in the USA, Europe, and Asia, she travels for work to many exotic locations; Carol drew inspiration for her art. With two children, she enjoyed the culture and lifestyle of foreign lands and then, after a time living in Toronto, moved to the west coast of Canada, where she lives. Carol paints full time in her beautiful studio and enjoys an active life on Vancouver Island. Carol is a self-taught impressionist/abstract artist and has a unique and dynamic style all her own. Her work is characterized by bold brushwork and a loose, intuitive approach to her subject. She is known for her bold use of color.
“I never really know where a painting will end up…..
It’s always a bit of a mystery, and that is the fun and the challenge of it all. Sometimes I work from a reference or a memory, but more often, lately, I like to start a painting by playing with color, line, and texture. I try not to be too in control of what’s happening and just allow my intuitive urges to take over. At some point, the painting shows me something, the hint of a place, an image, or just a mood. I get a feeling that I react to it, and that’s when the painting starts to take shape. The rest of the journey is a dance between intuition and controlled response.
My process involves the use of brushes, palette knives, scraping, wiping, and layering. I really get excited when a stroke or a gesture produces just the feeling I want to express, or when a color pops through from a previous layer, and the journey of the painting can be seen. It tells it’s own story, and I become the viewer.
I hope to express what is authentic, true, and beautiful in the world I experience, whether it is internal or external, and in so doing, create a connection with you, the viewer.
Being seen, connecting through one’s art is the joy and privilege of being an artist.”
Carol Bednarski is an active member of the Federation of Canadian Artists. Carol has been in numerous Juried Shows, and her work has been shown in galleries and venues on Vancouver Island and Vancouver, BC. Her work is both private and corporate collections in the US and Canada.
