A lifetime passion for art has inspired Carol McCall in her professional career as a painter for over thirty years. Her formal training was at the University of Kansas where she majored in drawing and painting. After college she lived in the San Francisco Bay area and was active in the art community there. At home now, in rural Johnson County, Kansas she shares a studio with her artist husband Bill McCall. She has served in many area art organizations and started an area plein air painting event. Her exhibits in juried shows and plein air painting events have produced numerous awards. She conducts workshops and teaches, often taking her students out into the field for plein air painting. Her work has been shown in various venues over the years including some of the region’s finest galleries. Her paintings are in private and corporate collections across the country. “The rich tradition of oil painting drew me into what has become a life long passion. I live in the country and the natural world is always an influence. I work directly with lush colors and free brush strokes often mixing colors on my canvas. I hope that as each painting develops it can overcome its real inspiration to become a real painting.”
