ARTIST BIO AND STATEMENT
Born in England, Caroline Chilton now lives in Mesa, Arizona, after a short time in New York City and San Francisco. Caroline graduated from ASU with Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate degrees in Education, but now follows her love of art. Her paintings have twice placed in the MCC Art Gallery show, and she has previously exhibited with the Arizona Arts Guild and the Mesa Artists League.
I work either in oil, or water color with pen and ink. My paintings consist of overlapping forms and lines, creating geometric, intersecting shapes, using a limited number of compatible or contrasting colors. I attempt to create a detailed, logical, but organic, flow in the structure of the design to provide a sense of rhythm, balance, harmony, and depth. The mood and emotion in the overall compositions evolve intuitively and reflect personal feelings, experiences and events prior to or at the time of the painting. My goal is to visually express these emotions in ways that will universally resonate and connect with the viewer.
