Carole Wilson – Art, Film & Intuition

Watching Over, oil & leaf, 36×48″

I am a child of the times, a human litmus test that registered the social and spiritual revolutions sweeping America in the 1960’s and 70’s. Civil rights marches, Vietnam War protests, tear gas, hippydom, encountering the first wave of gurus as they arrived on American shores…finding “the path.”

In the 80’s and 90’s I became the wife and mother who drove a Volvo station wagon. Pre-occupied with soccer games and homework, all the while I continued to paint, my salvation from the tedium of laundry and dishes.

Heading into the new millenium, I drew in my wings to find within yet new identities yearning for expression. My intuitive abilities and documentary filmmaking became extensions of the creative mind, taking me out of the lonely bliss of the studio and connecting with human beings more fully.

And the beat goes on…
