Steve Carpenter's landscapes are easily recognizable because of their vibrant colors. The colors are vigorous and experimental with brilliant magentas, blues, purples, and splashes of yellows. He intensifies the natural color of our surrounding landscape. To achieve his desired coloration while maintaining the freedom to draw, Steven Carpenter works primarily in pastel. His works are created in the studio and are a combination of reality and imagination. Sometimes motivation is drawn from visits to museums where he absorbs the colors of Klimt and Monet.
His innovative use of color was inspired by a trip to the Far East during his college years. Art was his field of study and he completed his BA in 1982 at St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minnesota. He has also studied at Soochow University, National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan; the Chienmai University in Chienmai, Thailand; and the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Through the years he has been an art instructor with several organizations; the Faribault School for the Deaf, Faribault, MN, and at various schools in Community Education, St. Paul, MN. He was also an artist in residence at St. Olaf College. doubletakeart.com
