Oil Pastel 2007
Artist's private collection

Carol Zack is a Chicago area artist who works in OP's. Her work is vibrant, painterly and shows the versatility of the medium. She states on her website that she is "inspired by the Impressionist artists with their spontaneous use of broken color" and it's clearly evident in her use of color and bold expressive strokes. She has a special and unique technique that she employs in some of her work that incorporates torn tissue paper with oil pastel layered on top. It gives her pieces an exciting, colorful textured look. Carol is also an instructor in the Chicago area and teaches at the Fine Line in St. Charles IL and at the DuPage Art League in Wheaton, IL.
