Excited for you to see and shop my new Monet’s Garden and Tie Dye Dreams collections! These paintings present unique colors and vibrant layering. I so enjoyed painting them! Hope you can visit this new hub of creativity during its opening weekend in Richmond, VA !!!

“For these particular paintings on canvas, I was inspired by an art history book of Claude Monet’s paintings in the 1890s. His use of color was a starting point. Unintentionally, the many small lines and multiple color combinations in this abstract work also remind me of Monet’s Impressionism. For the smaller framed works, I was painting on a new substrate: Yupo on an aluminum panel. This medium was fun to use and presented new ways of working.

Fun fact: I met Shop Made in VA’s owner, Stacey Price, many years ago in graduate school when I was getting an MFA at Radford University. Her exuberance for life is the same, and I admire all she has accomplished. Thanks for the opportunity, Stacey!”   – Carol
