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 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 stop and say
“WOW!” It’s not about me, but about the subject, the colors, atmosphere,
memories 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 son 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.
