| Carol Collette |
Artist Bio
Carol Collette was born in Toronto, Canada and graduated with honors
from the Ontario College of Art there. Her career path took her to
Quebec City, where she met her future husband John Collette and in
1968 she moved to his hometown of Boston.
It was in their travels to the major museums of Europe, early in their
marriage that they became fascinated by the technique of etching, with
its delicacy of detail and richness and variety of tone, and were inspired
to direct their art toward the medium of etching.
Upon returning from Europe, Carol began a series of pen and ink
sketches of Cape Cod which served as the foundation for her early
etchings. Living and working in rural New England, surrounded by
familiar and favorite subjects, Carol began working on her etching
technique, increasing her knowledge and control over one of the most
demanding mediums.
From the beginning, Carol painted her etchings with watercolor; and as
this makes each print different, her editions are classified as unique
editions.
Carol Collette has established an international reputation and her art is
included in many corporate, private and public collections. Her eighth
trip to Japan to visit galleries and meet collectors, will be in March 2007.
Eager to visit new places and find new subjects, she has done etchings
representing many areas of the country. Carol Collette is looking
toward a long and happy future as one of Americas most enduring and
popular
