CAROL LOEB

Carol Loeb is a Signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA) and the American Artists Professional League (AAPL), and an Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artists. She earned a Fine Arts Certificate from Fanshawe College and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and Art History from McMaster University. She worked as a commercial artist before beginning her 32-year career teaching art in schools across Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Kuwait, the Philippines and the USA. In 2020, she left teaching to focus full-time on her own art.

Carol’s main subject is the landscape, both rural and urban. She works mainly in acrylics, usually blocking in dark and mid-tone areas first then adding thin layers of saturated colour to create luminosity and depth. Calm, contemplative settings dominate in her work. In the lead-up to Canada’s 150th anniversary she conceived and executed the Trans-Canada 150 art project, a cross-continental documentation of the Canadian landscape along the Trans-Canada Highway from coast to coast, culminating in a series of 52 studio paintings and a book.
