About Rochelle Carr

Painting is my path to connection and peace. It offers me the joy of creation and allows me to share beauty, art, and elegance from the world that surrounds me. I have been working and selling mixed media and paintings for more than 19 years. My innovative, whimsical, playful style blends the tactile depth of sculpture (using paint or wall plaster) with the rich tones of acrylics, oils, and 23-karat gold leaf. Growing up in a large Italian and French family, my art is influenced by the passion and expression of my heritage. I thrive on culture, fine cuisine, and travel, having spent time exploring more than 20 countries in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America to all parts of the US. I always revert to painting hearts. My five and a half year old niece, Alexandra Ellis, died of neuroblastoma cancer fourteen years ago. Thinking of Alex fills me with a treasured joy and keeps me grounded in my work. My life is inspired by two themes, and you can find both in my art. A heart theme in my work expresses the soul-felt theme that guides me: "follow your heart." Iridescent accents and deep contrasting colors carry my personal motto "live out loud." "Adventure lies not in the places we seek, but in the moments we create in the places we treasure." -RMC
