Carol Ivey

Carol Ivey is an artist of vision, both inner and outer. For the past 25 years her painting practice, both on canvas and with watercolor, has been based on working from observation with light and space being of primary importance in her still life and interiors. In her current work, her love of color has taken more subtle nuanced hues; in her more distant past she worked with a rich and vibrant palette creating abstract paintings. Because Carol has a high regard for the history of painting, she points to compelling examples through art history to communicate art concepts. She is excited to be teaching her first workshop with La Romita.

Fort Worth-based Carol Ivey, received a BA in studio art from the University of Texas at Austin. Ivey has taught college and adult education classes, as well as numerous workshops (three in Europe). She has also served as juror on exhibitions across North Texas. She was a finalist in the Hunting Art Prize in Houston in 2009, 2013, and 2015, and has won multiple awards in the annual Historic Fort Worth, Inc exhibition. In 2023, Carol was awarded an artist retreat by the Morris Graves Foundation in Northern California. Her work is found in many private and corporate collections, and is represented by the Hunt Gallery in San Antonio, Texas.
