Ingrid Carson has a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Studio Art from Columbia College. Her double major was in drawing and photography, but she has since been recognized for her realistic oil paintings and abstract mixed media work.
“The places I go, the people I meet, and my reactions to current events are all subjects for my creative process. My focus is on bold colors, texture, and elements of surprise. My goal is to engage and connect the viewer with my art.”
A founder in the Crooked Creek Art League, she remains active in the league and is currently a member of the Seven Oaks Art League, the Trenholm Artist Guild, and the South Carolina Watermedia Society. She has served as Exhibit Chairperson for the Crooked Creek Art League and worked for the State Fair Fine Art Department. She was awarded the State Fair Achievement Award for “Exemplary Service and Outstanding Contributions to the Arts.”
