CARYL HULL LEAVITT

Caryl Hull Leavitt paints from observation, memory and intution. The patterns and dynamics of a fleeting scene and familiar routines often catch her eye in unexpected ways. Throughout any given day she is likely to make quick sketches or snap photos of what she sees for later reference. She views her subject matter as a catalyst for exploration and discovery so that one theme may find its way through painting, collage and mixed media sculpture, each offering its own means of expression.

​

Caryl counts Josef Albers' color theory and Black Mountain College's reliance on available materials, the rigorous brushstrokes of Expressionist painters, and the many current and contemporary artists with whom she studies and exchanges ideas as major influences.
