Carol's Bio

Carol Staub was born and raised in Milford, Delaware. She has been painting for 11 years and has garnered over 150 national and international awards.
Her works have been featured in many books and magazines including the American Art Collector, The Artist’s Magazine, Who’s Who in American Art, New Art International and many others.

Statement:

When people view my art I want them to be drawn in and their curiosities piqued. I want them to take their own journey, ask their own questions and most of all, form their own conclusions. I want them to meander through the painting and ponder what the thought process must have been like when this painting was taking on life.
When I paint I allow my subconscious to take over which allows total self expression and freedom. I don’t hesitate to try things that simply “break the rules”. I play, explore, try, imagine, and most importantly, have fun!
