Carollo

Michelle Carollo received an MFA in painting from the San Francisco Art Institute and a BA from Stony Brook University. She makes drawings, sculptures and large installations of abstract, colorful forms in the interest of creating room-sized, three-dimensional abstract paintings. Her works blur the line between the illusionary space found in an abstract painting, and the actual physical space in which a spectator can move. Awards include the Santa Fe Art Institute Artist in Residence 2012; Cooper Union Artist in Residence 2010, Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation, The Space Program 2008 – 2009, and the Vermont Studio Center Full Fellowship 2007.
