Carol Barsha is an artist whose primary media are paint, ink, pastel, and charcoal. She applies these media in spontaneous, gestural strokes as well as in smooth layers. Her symbolic, often surreal drawings and paintings on paper are influenced by observations from nature as well as imagined phenomena. The basic elements of the world; water, air, earth and fire, as well as a curiosity about the human condition, pervade her work.
