Carol Reeves divides her time between Maine and Connecticut. This provides her with a plein-air painting opportunities that would fill any painter's pallette. Also, her travels allow her to paint on location throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Working in both oils and pastels, her painterly approach using lively brush strokes and bold color have earned her the title of 'colorist.'

A hot underpainting offers her the opportunity for juxtapositioning of cool over hot, creating a sparkling effect that allows her paintings to glimmer.
