A Journey of Motion and Color

Born and raised in the vibrant heart of Brooklyn, Carol Massa has been dancing with color and canvas across New York City since the 1970s. A true daughter of the city, she finds her rhythm in the electric pulse of Greenwich Village, where artistic spirits converge and creativity flows as freely as conversation in Washington Square Park.

For over five decades, Carol has been weaving her abstract visions into the fabric of America's gallery scene, with her work gracing walls from coast to coast. As a resident artist at Carter Burden Gallery in Chelsea, she continues to explore the beautiful tensions between movement and stillness in her paintings and drawings.

When summer arrives, Carol trades the city's symphony for something softer. Fire Island becomes her sanctuary, where lifelong friendships deepen against the backdrop of endless ocean and sky. Here, surrounded by the simplicity of human connection and the eternal conversation between land and sea, she finds the quiet joy that infuses every brushstroke.

Carol's work is an invitation—to feel the spontaneous energy of urban life, to breathe in the salt air of summer evenings, and to discover the extraordinary in the everyday dance of opposite forces coming together.
