BoldBrush Recommends: Carmen Schaar Walden
Biography
Carmen Schaar-Walden was born on March 9, 1966 in San Diego, California as the sixth of seven children. She currently lives and works in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Carmen showed an interest and aptitude for art at a very early age and earned a B.A. in Applied Art, with an emphasis in painting, at San Diego State University in 1991.
Carmen has been privileged to live in many parts of the United States such as southern California, Washington state, Wyoming and Oklahoma. Experiencing America from these different perspectives made Carmen want to showcase her varying natural surroundings. In addition, she began taking cross-country road trips while in college, sketching and photographing America’s enormous diversity and natural beauty. These continuing sketches and photographs, are the start of Carmen’s creative process and the focus of her artwork. Carmen prefers the flexibility of acrylic paint as her primary medium, but additionally works in oil and watercolor. Carmen is influenced by Post-Impressionism and California Impressionism.
Carmen focuses on the natural beauty all around her. She often isolates nature (”nature portraits’) against a neutral background to give reverence to it. She often paints her subject matter from the viewer’s personal vantage point, as they would have discovered it passing by. She feels it is important to appreciate these visual treasures as they remind us that we have a duty to protect them for future generations.
Presently, Carmen is exploring non-traditional compositions and vantage points using her Maine boat series.
Her work has been accepted and awarded in various national and regional art exhibitions.
