Carolyn Boutwell named Artist of the Week

Arts & Business Council of Greater Nashville:
“Carolyn Boutwell is a Nashville-based figurative sculptor, focusing on three diverse styles: neoclassical, caricature, and human form as abstract figurine. She works primarily in water-based and polymer clays. In her work, Carolyn leverages a classical style to convey themes and passions of modern times, while emphasizing and drawing the viewer to these concepts with intense focus on expression and anatomical detail.

Included in her body of work are portraits of Nashville notables, displayed at the Nashville International Airport. In sculpting their likenesses, Carolyn constructed an emotional snapshot of each individual, recreating a bit of their story with an underlying sentiment. As with this and her other pieces, by making a statement from what she sees, Carolyn wants the observer to feel deeply, even allowing themselves to be emotionally vulnerable, and to ponder the encouraging message in her art.”
