There is something fascinating about the way light falls upon every day objects and moments. A small shadow, or splash of bright light can completely alter an atmosphere and mood as well as the actual shapes of the objects being observed. Although often overlooked, these shapes created by shadows and highlights are what allow our brains to register our surrounding environments. By capturing these variations in light through the lens has allowed a further development in Carolyn's painting ability through subtle manipulations of paint to depict images that may have been overlooked otherwise. Through this she has been able to capture every day moments in a new way, allowing the viewer to gain a deep sense of untold story.
