Meet Artist - Carol Welsh                                   Gallery: [1] 2  

I came into the world of Art at a late stage in my life.  After moving to Dallas, Texas in January of 2000, I decided that in order to get out of the house and meet people, I would take a few classes at the local recreation center.  I very quickly learned that in order to do oil and watercolor, I would need to be able to draw first… and that was the beginning.  I took courses at the local community college and quickly decided that I love painting and drawing.  It is a decision I have not regretted and something that I have come to love dearly.

I am particularly drawn to painting water and wildlife.  Water can be displayed as very calm and serene or in an intense and extreme manner.  Animals are the same as they exhibit many similar qualities.  This is what I like to present to people through my art.  It excites me when I see people looking at my work and exhibiting the same emotions I felt when I was painting the subject.
