Carol Loeb

Carol Loeb is a Signature member of the Federation of Canadian Artists (SFCA) and the American Artists Professional League (AAPL), and an Elected Member of the Society of Canadian Artists. 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 before beginning her 32-year career teaching art in schools across Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Kuwait, the Philippines and the USA. In 2020, she left teaching to focus full-time on her own art.

Carol’s main subject is the landscape, both rural and urban. She works mainly in acrylics, usually blocking in dark and mid-tone areas first then adding thin layers of saturated colour to create luminosity and 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.

Carol has had several solo shows in Canada 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, The Artists Magazine as a winner of the Over 60 competition in 2020 and in the Acrylic Works 10 competition in 2023, and in Artist Talk magazine in 2021. She is also represented by galleries in Montreal QC, Toronto ON, Perth ON, Memphis TN, and Laguna Beach CA. Her works are in private collections in Canada, USA, Germany, UK, India and Philippines.
