Artist's Reception: ONCE UPON A TIME - Carrie Nardello October 19, 2011

Exhibit runs Oct 12 - Dec 6, 2011 all days; Artist reception Wed, Oct 19, 5:30-7pm

McKinley Art Solutions is proud to present ONCE UPON A TIME, paintings in oil by Carrie Nardello. Carrie's work is often playful on the surface, which belies the verigated emotions that inform her creative process.

"I paint spontaneously with bright hues and bold colors using a symbolic vocabulary to express a feeling or story derived from my imagination. With simple form and imagery, everyday objects like tables, chairs, beds, houses, fire, water and animals relay the narrative.

If often the work is initiated by personal experiences it is always communicated with this universal language as to engage the viewer to connect to their own story. Intentionally childlike, I seek to capture the innocence and immediacy of the heart and move the viewer to relate intimately." ~ Carrie Nardello

Carrie holds a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and completed postgraduate studies with apprenticeships in Italy (with Maestro Luigi Falai) and London. Her work is held in numerous private collections throughout the US. Additonally, Carrie is an accomplished scenic painter with Art Directors Guild & Scenic, Title and Graphic Artists Local 800.
