About the Item
Carolyn Reynolds is a brilliant innovator. The quasi-abstract canvases she creates from her Laguna Beach based Studio are produced using countless foils of thin gold leaf. Layer upon layer, the foils are applied to create a shimmering surface on which the artist places hummingbirds, waves, landscapes and tumultuous ocean scenes. The vibrant gold and silver of Reynolds’ work offers an image of celebratory splendor. Using a traditional process in a very contemporary fashion, Reynolds' golden canvases juxtapose subject and space in such a way that challenges our assumptions about the obligatory flatness of abstraction. Signed by the artist in pencil verso.

Carolyn Reynolds
Carolyn Reynolds has been painting, drawing and sculpting since she was a child. World-renowned for her luminous landscapes on gold and silver leaf, Carolyn is claiming her corner of the art market as master and creator of a technique known only to her. Graduating from the University of California Irvine with a BFA in Fine Art and Art History, Carolyn believes her nature-themed pieces bring a healing quality, as well as a sense of well-being, harmony, and tranquility through her subject matter and use of color. Having been commissioned to do an Asian-themed art piece Carolyn fell in love with gold and silver leaf as a medium. She now works almost exclusively with the medium. The physical process begins with coating and sanding the canvas until it becomes a silky surface. A terra-cotta clay or red paint is painted underneath to give a warm feel to the gold. Once this is complete, the artist lays the gold or silver leaf, and coats it with layers of varnish. Using the finest quality sable brushes, Carolyn paints layer upon layer of paint and varnish developing the image until it culminates in a moment of light! Reynolds has been exhibited in California museums, featured in many one-man shows throughout the United States, and is in the permanent collections of corporations worldwide including The Ritz-Carlton, The Four Seasons, Comerica Bank, and the Marriott Corporation. Carolyn Reynolds resides and works in Southern California.
