An introduction to artist Carol Powell. The first video of my artist portrait series. I explore the stories of artists, their inspirations, creative processes, obstacles, and their plans for the future. Filmed/Edited by Shannon Rowland

Carol Powell has been an artist for most of her life, but has been exhibiting professionally since 1990 throughout the United States and Europe. She has two masters degrees from California State University, Fullerton. Her current work is an exploration of uncontrollable circumstances; her mixed media work is humorous, tragic and autobiographical. They are a mix of fabrics, paint, marker and collage and have a similarity to folk and outside genres. She has been influenced by many, contemporary, folk, and commercial artist and inspired by children’s books, East Indian paintings and textiles. Her artwork is in various collections including the Santa Barbara Museum, the Brooklyn Art Library, Cal State Long Beach, Self-Help Graphics, and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
