Carolyn Finnell

In my Portraiture and Still Life, I seek to accomplish a similar goal. Not just to achieve a likeness or accurate representation, but to communicate attitude and personality and establish a connection with the viewer.

Most of my still lifes are intimate paintings of everyday subject matter favoring simplicity over complexity in composition. I aim for an exuberant articulation of the ordinary. I'm always looking for the ways the subjects relate to each other, and how that reflects our human relationships.
