Whimsy, charm, and joy are consistent across Carol Pyes’ representational drawings.  She moves adeptly across a variety of mediums—often mixing them to increase the depth and complexity of her artwork.

With focus and dedication, her personal artistic style emerges through softly rendered hues within pared-down settings. More recently, Pyes has been experimenting with collage while staying true to her preferred subjects: loved ones, moments of joy, and most importantly, cats.

“Well I like cats a lot. I’m a cat person. They make me feel good inside… warm inside. They’re so cuddly!”

Pyes is driven by her unique gift for routine to revisit consistent subject matter in similar ways. This process is supported by her methodological approach. She gives insight into this process while she’s working by talking through each step of her plan.

“It makes me feel good because I enjoy it. It makes the time go by.”
