The Magic Realism style of Cathy Carey is a blend of impressionist color layering techniques, symbolic images, and expressive color that imparts a sense of emotion and mood. Cathy Carey's acrylic, watercolor, pastel and oil paintings transcend the reality of description and instead create archetypal symbols of imagined beauty. Cathy Carey shares her knowledge of color theory and painting techniques in her painting workshops and classes throughout California, and Santa Fe, NM. The Philosophy of Color, written by Cathy Carey, is a workshop tool for learning color theory and painting techniques in oil, watercolor, acrylic and pastel. The paintings of Cathy Carey can be viewed and purchased on her website, at her Art Studio Tours in April and December at her home in Escondido, CA. and at various art shows around San Diego, CA.
Fine Art Giclee prints are available of many of Cathy Carey's oil, pastel, acrylic and watercolor paintings, as well as greeting cards. Drawing on her travels, Cathy Carey paints views of the southwest and deserts, tropical scenes from Maui, California mission architecture with florals, and images from her trips to the Mediterranean, Italy, and Monet's garden in Giverny, France.
