Carol Pelletier

Carol Pelletier’s paintings, though abstract in feel, are about investigating the ephemeral qualities of twilight. Specifically, Pelletier seeks to capture that “frozen moment” when lightness and darkness meet, colors intensify, and the structure of sky and ground are in flux; she compares it to the feeling of two worlds together—the beginning and the end. To create the paintings’ depth, Pelletier works with cold wax, allowing the transparent layers to feel like distant horizon lines.

Pelletier is the Chair of Fine Arts and Professor of Art at Endicott College, located on the north shore of Boston. She has exhibited in over 60 solo and group shows nationwide, and has received three National Endowment for the Arts Grants, including a Fellowship grant to honor her achievement in the field of Fine Arts. She has also received a Mellon Foundation grant and is a Salzburg Fellow.
