Carol P. Klovekorn

Artist Bio: Carol P. Klovekorn is a watercolor and acrylic artist inspired by the light and bright surroundings near her current home in Palm Harbor, FL. Originally from Philadelphia, PA she moved around the Northeast and Midwest, developing her skills in drawing and various art media. Earning a BS in Marketing, taking art electives, then continuing primarily watercolor classes throughout adulthood, has informed her style. Georgia O’Keeffe, Van Gogh and Seurat are among her favorite artists. Falling in love with Audubon’s bird paintings and later botanical watercolor illustrations has focused her work. Sketching in pencil since childhood and visiting museums around the world influences her paintings. Experimenting with acrylic pouring has opened up new avenues for expression as well as teaching “Art on the Rocks” classes at Beach Art Center in Indian Rocks Beach, FL. Participating in local shows and exhibitions has provided a gratifying opportunity to share her work with the community.

Artist Statement: I have a deep appreciation for the spectrum of color nature has to offer. Awed by the simple beauty in a single flower, fall leaves, and especially beach waves, I often utilize negative space to highlight and focus on my subject. Aiming to find interesting shapes to create design and invoke a sense of wonder and delight in the world around us is my goal in creating pieces that are vivid and joyful.
