Carol Winchester
Artist: Aquamedia
Carol began her art career only after years of devotion to the Portland schools, as her son progressed through the system. She began to take art classes from well known artists, and her love of painting began. Watercolor was her medium of choice for many years, but lately she has progressed to also using acrylic and gesso.
Carol has been working in a new and innovative style of painting that has garnered much interest from patrons and fellow artists alike. She will be working more in that direction, using black gesso.
