Carol Estes: Lover of beauty and nature’s soothing palette and textures.

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

Driven to immerse myself in a life of beauty, Paris with its history, culture and soul, has long been the overarching inspiration for my design sensibilities and lifestyle. I weave my memories of life there into each composition I create.

Similar to a Parisian cityscape, I layer humble, raw natural materials, into minimal, unassuming, soulful compositions. Working with a limited palette of desaturated color, my art feels aged and minimal 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.
