Carol Bednarski is a self-taught artist on a journey of exploration, seeking to uncover and convey truth and beauty through her artwork. The destination of her paintings is often a mystery, an uncertain path that both challenges and excites her.

She often begins a painting by experimenting with color, line, and texture, relinquishing control to let her intuitive instincts guide her. Eventually, the painting reveals a glimpse of a place, an image, or a mood, and the rest of the journey becomes a delicate balance between intuition and controlled response.

Bednarski employs various techniques, including brushes, palette knives, scraping, and layering. She finds excitement when a single gesture captures the precise emotion or when a color emerges from a previous layer, revealing the painting's evolving narrative. In these moments, the artwork takes on a life of its own.

Her aspiration is to authentically represent the truths and beauty she encounters. Through this process, she aims to establish a connection with the viewer, finding true joy and privilege in being seen and forming connections with others through her art.
