Podcast Ep 2- Studio Life

August 20, 2018

Carolyn Mackin, our guest on this episode of Design Wise, is an artist based out of Wellesley, MA.  Her artwork is about embracing and celebrating life, and living with intention and passion.  Her abstract, multi-layered paintings reflect her journey through life.  Inspired by traveling, city life, white light, and intimate connections, Carolyn creates mixed media paintings through an intuitive process of layering acrylic and oil paint, oil pastels, paint pens, graphite and paper.  For Carolyn, cities are wonderfully exciting places filled with possibility, vibrant energy, and endless inspiration.  

You can learn more about Carolyn’s process by listening to our podcast and also by clicking  here.
