Artist Bio

Carol Langley is a visual artist living and working in Cleveland, Ohio. Her work focuses on color, form, line, and texture using paint, charcoal, wax and collage. She is influenced by the master works of the impressionists, surrealists, and abstract expressionists and by the events of light, shadow, and patterns on objects in nature. Often inspired by photography, film, and storytelling, she pushes her subjects toward abstraction without fully abandoning representation.

Carol has a BA in Education and has worked as an Instructional Designer and Consultant for Ernst & Young and the Cleveland Clinic. She studied Art at the Cleveland Institute of Art, Kent State, and Cuyahoga Community College.
