Caroline Hambright’s recent work was born out of a passion for creating art that captures the beauty of nature, expresses the wonder of childhood, and inspires internal peace.
In addition to teaching children, Caroline is an accomplished fine artists. Caroline explores many sides of painting. She uses the Alla Prima oil painting method in order to capture the immediacy of her inspiration. While her subject matter may vary from epic vistas to old cars to kitchen items, her color palette remains subdued with pops of bright color. For her murals, Caroline uses acrylic paint. Through years of practice and experimentation, she has honed her craft and mastered different mediums and techniques. While her teaching expertise helps her create art pleasing to children, her background in fine art informs her creations for the seasoned eye.
A Santa Barbara native, Caroline has been making art since she could hold a pencil. She graduated from Santa Barbara High School’s Visual Arts and Design program and later studied art at Santa Barbara City College. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Art from San Francisco State University and is a credentialed teacher. While teaching art in Goleta, her Summer Solstice poster design earned her Summer Solstice Artist of the Year. She went on to create three separate parade floats. Caroline ended up turning her attention to murals, and between jobs she set up an oil painting studio at home. She now teaches junior high and high school art at Willits Charter School in Willits, CA.

The many aspects and associations with Yellow comprise the theme of this show at Partners in April. For one artist the yellow is the bright and aggressive noontime sun full of energy and potency. For others yellow signals warmth and good cheer, a joyful moment when a fledgling swift rejoins its flock. It is precious gems of gold or a sparkling of gingko leaves on the asphalt or lichen glowing on a tree trunk. Or perhaps a cascade of confetti.

The exhibit is on view from April 10 to May 5.
Second Saturday Meet the Artists, April 12, 5-7pm

Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday, 11-5pm
