Karol
Mack considers herself an artist of the Landscape. She paints
both in the studio and on-location (en plein air). She considers
herself a traditional realist heavily influenced by the Hudson
River School of painting.
Karol's
paintings are most recognizable by her use of color and composition.
She uses tall trees against distant skies, winding streams,
still lakes, tepee, and classical architecture- all of this
images are selected in such a way as to communicate a sense
of enchantment and response. Her use of perspective involves
the viewer, and she has been characterized by her ability
to create the qualities of stillness, silence, and unbounded
voices that lead into the unknown. Karol's focus is to communicate
the grandeur, and also the subtlety, of nature.
