Cindy Carrillo - "The last several years have
been very exciting for me as I have seen the effect
that plein-air painting has had upon my work, and
upon how I approach the canvas. As a realist
painter, I want you to be able to understand the
exciting for me as I have seen the effect that
plein-air painting has had upon my work, and air
painting has had upon my work, and painter, I
want you to be able to understand the painter, I
want you to be able to understand the image but
more importantly, to be able to feel and experience
the subject. Whether I paint the sea, a lush desert
landscape, or my daughter asleep in the sun, my
hope is that it will be rendered in such a way that
you the viewer will know exactly what made me
and the feel of a place and time. Hopefully my and
the feel of a place and time. Hopefully my work
stands on its own, not needing further explanation.
Most of my time is spent painting plein-air, often
finishing the piece on the spot, sometimes using
them as a sketch to work up a larger piece in the
studio. I prefer to paint on hard board and in oil.
Because I live in central Arizona I have easy access
to California beaches, Mexico, New Mexico, and
Colorado. Born and raised in Arizona means that
the grayed greens here are my comfort zone. By
keeping my subject matter and locations varied it
keeps the work fresher and keeps me from falling
into formula painting. Shifting from painting
grayed desert greens to the deep emerald greens of
Colorado is always challenging!
My home is shared with my husband Andy of 29
years, a daughter (17) a senior in high school and
several furry friends. My middle is married and
just graduated from ASU, and my oldest son is a
nationally syndicated cartoonist. Life is chaotic and
I would not have it any other way. The support I
receive from my family is a blessing and has
shaped who I am as an artist. I strive to improve
my skills with challenging subject matter, working
with mentors, and I know I will be a lifetime
student of the arts."
