Carol Schmauder was born and raised in Spokane, Washington, where she currently lives with her husband, Glenn. Like most artists she showed interest in art at an early age and has experimented with several media over her lifetime. She raised nine children and worked a full-time job so had little time for painting while her children were growing up. She is a graphic designer that entered the world of fine art in 1988 after taking watercolor classes from Stan Miller and MaryAnn Figgins. Carol enjoyed this medium for twenty years before she began using acrylics for most of her work in 2017. Her professional life has led to participation in over a hundred exhibitions: both solo and in groups. She has paintings in collections nationwide and has won numerous awards.
"I love color! For this painting I wanted to include some colors that would play well off one another and chose crimson, turquoise and gold. I then added black and white for extra contrast. There is no hidden meaning in the painting. I merely wanted to play with color." ~ Carol Schmauder This painting will look amazing on any wall in your home or office. Available for Purchase: The original 9" x 12" Acrylic painting and a reproduction of the original.
