Painter of Early American Traditions Carol Dyer Looks Into the Past and Paints a Picture of Life 100 Years Ago
See Carol's New Book Published by Mystic Seaport
Welcome to the website of Carol Dyer, artist, painter, and printmaker. Her images portray a nostalgic view of a bygone era, a time before the hustle and bustle of telephones and automobiles. Her scenes brim with the activity of dozens of characters who move joyfully down city streets, across snowy landscapes, and through small town America. In the images of Carol Dyer's artwork, she creates scenes from 100 years ago where people sail, stroll, and ride on horsedrawn carriages, evoking a romantic vision of America's past.
A longtime resident of the Washington DC area, Carol Dyer specializes in pictures of the mid-Atlantic region, especially in and around our nation's capital. The White House, Mt Vernon, the US Capitol, Baltimore Harbor, Annapolis, and Bethany Beach are just some of the subjects for her paintings. Meanwhile, she has the prestigious distinction of having been commissioned by Mystic Seaport to create "The Port Cities Collection" depicting over a dozen harbors throughout the United States.
Carol Dyer's paintings and prints are held in private collections throughout the country, and many of her editions are sold out. Now, to make her artwork more accessible to a wider audience, Carol Dyer's few remaining prints are available to art collectors directly from the artist and her dealers through her website. "I want people to enjoy the worlds I portray in my work, where they can momentarily lose themselves in the idyllic, tranquil images I have created on canvas with my paintbrush. I want people to read my pictures like a book," says the artist.
