The Art of Carolyn Mallory, by Carolyn Mallory
Inspiration and Art
Orange makes my soul sing.
I look for it everywhere.
Orange on my brush fills me
with energy and hope.
It stays with me,
nurtures me,
creates space for me to breathe.
To my great delight, I work for a company that takes me to the Arctic every summer. I get to re-experience places I’ve been and discover new places. The grandeur, the colours, the people, the tundra fill me with sights, sounds, and smells to last until the next visit. And so I paint in my studio, trying to impress onto the canvas or paper all that captivates me. While I paint, the anxieties that plague me are at bay, and I feel, for a moment in time, at peace. Even joyful. The Arctic gives back to me over and over and I want to share those feelings of joy, awe, peace, and beauty. And I want to urge the world to take heed and take care; we need the Arctic and it needs us.
As I explore Nova Scotia, seaweed is a balm for my soul: orange, purple, and green prevail. I am swaying, moving, and breathing in the salt air. I am alive. As are we all. Some estimates state that seaweed provides 70% more air than land plants and also absorbs carbon very effectively. More so than trees. So begins the quest to paint more and learn about seaweed.
