About the Artist

Maureen Carter

I will forever consider myself a student of Art. I love the infinite variety there is to learn about creating images – I’ll try almost anything! In order to keep my creative juices flowing I have taken workshops in far flung places with some inspiring and highly successful artists. Travel provides inspiration for paintings but so does everyday life!

My style is a combination of subtle realism with an inclination toward abstraction. I love to explore how color, light and texture can be manipulated to create an interesting image that leaves room for interpretation. My favorite media is Watercolor but I also enjoy acrylic, collage and mixed media. I love it all!

I am a member of the Crooked Creek Art League and have served as Treasurer and Workshop Co-chair. I’m also a member of the SC Watermedia Society. My work has won some awards and I do enjoy the validation of winning - but for me, the best reward is creating something that even impresses me!
