Carolyn Biggio : : : view collection

Born in Columbus, Ohio in 1958, Carolyn Biggio
grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her formal
schooling earned her a Bachelor of Sciences
degree; but she later took up studies in art with
Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art. Other
classes with his followers deepened her
commitment, and her career path shifted to
painting.

Ms. Biggio's paintings are pure light and color,
primarily of still life. The thick impasto paint is laid
on with a palette knife to create intense masses
of color; shadows are equally vibrant, creating
dimension with brilliant shifts in hue and value,
rather than just local color.

Ms. Biggio has exhibited her work nationally,
receiving numerous awards.
