CARRIE GOLLER

Since childhood art has been a dominant force in the life of artist, Carrie Goller. "Art has become a necessity for me. It is both work and play - exhilarating yet restorative. It's where drama is safely indulged - and thus balance achieved. While absorbed in the creative process I lose track of time and feel all is well, content and confident in my creative ability. A variety of media keeps me interested and endlessly inspired - oil, watercolor, pastel, charcoal, graphite, mixed media and recently encaustic, an ancient process of melting, applying, then fusing beeswax, for which I am grateful to the hard working bees."  (continued at the bottom)

"Although I now work from a wide range of subjects, from still life to plein air to abstract, I started with portraiture to enhance my connection with people and creatures. I enjoyed the challenge of trying to capture a subject's spirit and character, with the goal of transcending photographic images. The result I am seeking may be elusive, yet the artistic process continues to intrigue me."

Carrie Goller lives with her family in the town of Poulsbo in Washington State.
