ABOUT CAROL
One of
America's most admired painters of the Native
American Indian, Carol Theroux is widely known for
the sensitivity and authenticity of her work.
Drawing inspiration from her own Cherokee heritage,
she portrays the traditional values of Native
American life, paying tribute to their noble past in
her portraits, collectible plates, and Native
American porcelain dolls. Her work can also be found
in Leanin’ Tree’s special collection of Native
American greeting cards.
Carol's figurative portrayals of late 1800's women
in their long bustled dresses, grand hats, transport
the viewer to another place in time. Occasionally
you will find a rare depiction of horses or an
exquisitely detailed still life, but you will know
they are Carol's by the deft handling of this
difficult medium.
Carol Theroux has been a featured artist in numerous
national publications, including Southwest Art
Magazine in 1983, Art of the West 1990-1997, and
International Pastel Magazine in 2001. Carol is a
charter member of the Pastel Society of America and
is included in the 1993 Who's Who in American Art.
She is also a charter member of The Pastel Society
of the West Coast. |
