ABOUT

Carol Sebert is a Canadian painter working in oils and watercolour. She works plein air in all seasons capturing the light and temperature of a day. Larger landscapes are inspired by her plein air work while describing a more pensive interpretation. She arranges still life work in her studio in Flesherton Ontario.

She examines the natural world by capturing the energy of the subject through the joy of colour.
