Artist’s Statement
My work reflects what I see in the beauty of life around me. I consider myself
primarily a landscape painter and really enjoy painting on location where I always
try to show the complex play of sunlight, shadows, and atmospheric conditions in my work.
On my larger canvases I incorporate only a small area of realism into a large area of
abstract design.
Biography
Carolyn Hofstetter majored in art at Stanford University. She later studied
painting with Ray Brose and Ted Goerschner, who inspired her love of plein air
painting. She has been an active exhibitor with many shows to her credit and has
served as a juror for local art groups, in addition to giving program presentations
and critiques. Her paintings of the Allied Arts Guild gardens are featured on the
cover and throughout the cookbook Tastes, Tales and Traditions, published by the
Palo Alto Auxiliary for Children (benefiting the Lucile Salter Packard Children's
Hospital at Stanford) in 2005.
