About the Item

This contemporary landscape painting by Carol Young is made with acrylic paint on board. A warm creme-colored structure with a blue roof sits on muted green grass next to a lush green forest, beneath a vibrant blue sky. The sky and shadows cast by the roof are similar in tone. The painting has clean, exposed wood sides and is signed by the artist in the lower left-hand corner. It is wired and ready to hang. Carol C. Young is a landscape painter working in acrylics and oils. She is a plein air painter as well as a studio artist whose contemporary work is primarily identified by a bold use of light and shadow along with iconic depictions of structures within the rural landscape. A fine arts major at the College of New Rochelle, NY, her paintings have won several awards including best in show at the Pequot Library Art show in Connecticut, first place in the acrylic division at the Rowayton Arts Center in Connecticut, and second place for acrylics/oils at the Mary O. Fritchie Art Show in Westhampton Beach, New York. “My technique is spontaneous. I want to capture the moment in my painting, intrigued by the patterns created by sunlight, shadows and shapes at that time of day. When I paint structures, I am inspired by those that hold history. Ones that have been part of the landscape for a long time - ones that may be gone soon. America's rural landscape influences the majority of my work - structures that have a weathered history are intriguing, lonely and a nostalgic expression that inspires me. Shapes, light, shadows, and the magnificence of color are what move me to paint. I want to capture the beauty of history in an old farmhouse or barn, before the ever changing landscape changes again forever.” Carol resides in Connecticut with her husband David, daughter Isabella, and two Long-Haired Whippets, Cobalt & Hopper.

High Hat Motel
By Kristin Moore
Located in New Orleans, LA
Born and raised in Houston, KRISTIN MOORE began attending art classes at the Glassell School at a young age. She moved to Austin in 2009 to obtain her BA in Art from St. Edward’s University. Soon after graduating, Moore moved to Los Angeles to pursue her MFA at Otis College of Art + Design. Moore’s first solo exhibition, Rear Window, was unveiled during the culmination of her participation in the MFA program in 2016. Upon moving back to Texas, Moore continued to explore contemporary landscapes through painting. The juxtaposed architecture of LA, the smoggy atmosphere, and unique characteristics of the city became source material for her work. Upon moving back to Texas in 2016, Moore viewed Austin through the same lens; the architecture is quickly changing, a new atmosphere is emerging, and the skyline is directly reflecting those elements. Oscillating between these two bustling cities of Austin & LA, lies the open space and peaceful landscape of Marfa. Texas. Often a favorite pit stop during the long road trips back and forth from Texas to California, Marfa holds space as a source of continued inspiration for Moore. Her Texas roots and California influence have culminated into her current body of work. Often inspired by Ed Ruscha’s work Every Building on the Sunset Strip and A Few Palm Trees, Moore sources the images that influence her paintings from her many car rides, walks, and hikes up to overlooks. A homage to Hollywood, Moore also finds visual influence for her work in the world of film; particularly from visionaries such as Stanley Kubrick, Ridley Scott, and Alfred Hitchcock. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions such as Turbulent Landscapes at Modified Arts in Phoenix, AZ, Excavations; Shindig at Mantle Art...
