In the act of painting, New York artist Carol Massa translates her earlier career as a printmaker to canvas by way of abstract expressionism. Her involvement with movement and stillness, color and texture reflect her personal journey. The freedom and spontaneity found throughout her paintings is released by working with rhythmic marks from the brush and roller. Massa draws inspiration from nature, and her primary focus is opposite forces coming together.
Carol Massa was born in Brooklyn, New York, USA. She began studies in the Arts in the early 70's and received two scholarships for Drawing and Printmaking while attending Miami Dade College. In 1980, she had her first One Woman show at NYU Galleries in New York City. From that point, she became a regular in galleries in and around Greater NYC, including at the National Academy of Design (NY), Bergen Museum of Arts & Science (NJ), and Bradley National Prints & Drawings.
