Carol Estes: Lover of beauty and nature. Working with soothing palettes and interesting textures.

Hi! I’m Carol Estes, a seasoned artist and interior designer living and working in Paris, France and Southern California.

Throughout my life I have been driven to immerse myself in beauty. Paris, with its history, culture and soul, has been the overarching inspiration for my lifestyle, sensibilities and my work. I weave my adventures in Paris into each composition I create.

Envisioning a tonal Parisian cityscape, I layer humble, raw natural materials, into minimal, unassuming, soulful compositions. Working with a limited palette of desaturated color, my art feels soothing, minimal and aged, yet always sophisticated and current.

My art provides depth, authenticity and historic contrast to clean contemporary and modern spaces. At the same time, it represents my sensitivity to our environment in my use of recycled textiles, papers, frames and canvases. I am not only inspired by authenticity. My work reflects it in substance.
