Cassera Gallery Presents: Carol Hartsock

​ARTIST STATEMENT

Since the early 80’s my work has been about cultural diversity and the need to work with, rather than against, our differences. This same hope to make a difference is presented in my abstract works. It’s not too late to save this planet, and if my work can spark a call to action on its behalf, I am grateful.  The power of color has always played an important role in my work. As a portrait artist, it allows me to shade a person’s emotional expressions. As an abstract artist, it offers a means to add emotion to the shades and tempo of nature and the seasons.  ​Want to know more? Read Carol Hartsock's full statement.
