BB&T Bank on Art Gallery - Second Quarter
CCAL, in conjunction with the BB&T, is proud to announce the second quarter artist on display in the "BB&T Bank on Art Gallery". The gallery is located in the lobby of the Chapin BB&T Branch and will host the artwork of one of Crooked Creek Art League's fine artists. The display in the gallery showcases artwork by Ingrid Carson. Ingrid's piece, "Kristy" is an oil painting.
Inspiration to create is motivated by my everyday life’s experiences. The places I go, people I meet, and thoughts I have are all foundations for my art. Once an idea begins to formulate, I search for materials, shapes and textures to build on my original thought. The execution of my paintings is a journey encompassing my feelings relating to the subject and the process of manipulating the paint.
People are often the focus of my artwork. I especially enjoy capturing people in their everyday environment. The oil painting of Kristy is a fond memory of a Windjammer Cruise my husband and I took off the coast of Maine. Kristy climbed the mast, hoisted the sail, and sang a seafaring song.
