Fairfield County native Carol Calicchio’s ascent into the art world can be traced back to her family of artists and early education.

Her mastery of abstract florals began several years after she earned a degree from the NYSID. A combination of painting and drawing studies at the School of Visual Arts helped Carol realize her true passion was best expressed in the art she had been hanging in other’s homes. 

So she set off on her own course, finding an artistic realm of her own, through unique paintings that express rich energy palettes.

Carol, who now lives in Delray Beach, Florida, creates her colorful works in a spacious, inspiring studio on the banks of the intracoastal.
