Kacey Carneal |
Folk painter Kacey Carneal lives in a rural fishing and farming community in Virginia. She began painting in 1985, and now paints full time, eight hours a day, seven days a week, while listening to the music of Tony Bennett. Her small studio is located on the banks of a creek. She works only in oil on wood, canvas, linen, or masonite. Characteristic of Carneal's work is her distinctive use of the frame, which often acts as a painted extension of the canvas. She says she draws inspiration from books, poems, songs, Time magazine, and her inner self. In the past decade, Carneal's work has been in juried shows in 52 cities, 23 states, and the Netherlands. She is included in the archives of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC, and was named Kluge Children's Rehabilitation Center's Artist-in-Residence. This page was last updated with new artworks on November 6, 2010.
