Biography

Carol Loeb is a Senior Signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artists, and Signature Member of the American Artists Professional League. She earned a Fine Arts Certificate from Fanshawe College and a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and Art History from McMaster University. She worked as a commercial artist in Toronto for several summers before beginning her 32-year career as an art teacher in schools across Canada and around the world. She was the Senior School Visual Art instructor at Lower Canada College in Montreal until focusing on her own art full-time in 2020.

 Carol’s main focus is the landscape, both rural and urban. Inspired by ordinary scenes, she imbues her paintings with a life derived from the subject itself. Working in acrylics, she builds her works in layers of colour, creating luminous images conveying visual as well as emotional depth. Calm, contemplative settings dominate in her work.

In the lead-up to Canada’s 150th anniversary she conceived and executed the Trans-Canada 150 art project, a cross-continental documentation of the Canadian landscape along the Trans-Canada Highway from coast to coast, culminating in a series of 52 studio paintings and a book. More recently, she has concentrated on industrial and urban subjects, and landscapes that include evidence of human habitation.

Since turning her focus more towards her own work beginning in 2009, Carol has presented numerous solo shows and taken part in group exhibitions in Canada, Italy and the USA. Her work has been awarded prizes and earned recognition in exhibitions presented by the Federation of Canadian Artists, the American Artists Professional League, the Northwest Watercolor Society, and the National Oil and Acrylic Painters’ Society, among others. Her work has been featured in Billie Magazine, FCA”s Avenue Art Magazine, Artists Magazine and in Artist Talk magazine. Her work can be found in corporate and private collections in Canada, Germany, United States, India, United Kingdom and the Philippines. She is represented by galleries in Montreal, Toronto, Perth, and Laguna Beach, CA.
