Carole Hillsbery paints in transparent watercolors and has studied with such notable artists as Robert E. Wood, Charles Reid, Diane Maxey and Ted Nuttall.

Carole describes herself a “shape maker” starting with large fresh washes of color and working toward smaller, more intense shapes and colors that define the subject. She is an impressionist in her approach to her work which has been described as "meticulously imprecise" as she thoughtfully and carefully builds shapes to represent her subject.

A signature member of the Transparent Watercolor Society of America, Western Federation of Watercolor Societies and the Arizona Watercolor Association, she has won numerous awards and was featured artist in the Dec 06 American Artist magazine and Mar 10 issue of Southwest Art.

“It is my desire in the workshops I teach and demos I
do to inspire artists to loosen up, put aside that “need”
to make a perfect painting and just have fun
discovering all the amazing things water media can do!
New ideas? Bring them on!” CL
