THE ARTIST
Carolyn Morris Bach lives on seventy acres
in the
woodlands of
Southern Rhode Island. Her studio
is surrounded by
pastures and forests and impacted
directly by the
cycles of seasons which connect her to
the natural
environment and its visual expression in
figurative imagery.
For 30 years, her work has developed along themes
which are keyed to visual metaphors – often found in
older iconographies – representing the powers of sun,
moon, wind, rain, stones, plants and a selection of
animals residents that determine the rural,
non-industrial
landscape.
