Statement from Carl Dalio:
“The creative process offers the
opportunity to analyze and simplify subject matter and to communicate meaning
and human emotion in the final painting form. Through the creative process,
my intention is to define significance in a variety of subjects and tap
into the river of human emotion. I engage and celebrate the nurturing existence
of living color: its power and vibration in complements.
“My purpose as
an instructor is to encourage artistic growth in each student. I believe in
positive feedback and finding visionary solutions to painting adventures.”
