Biography
Publications/Reviews
Nan Bialek of the BayViewer, a weekly Milwaukee newspaper, profiled Carolyn Snow July 20, 2006 in the article, Bialek said of Snow’s paintings,“Intense color breathes artist’s primitive themes to life.” “All of Snow’s work has a heart-pounding elemental aesthetic, whether the mode is entirely abstract or tend more towards recognizable imaginings, but always with powerful bursts of color.”
Milwaukee Art Museum selected one of Snow’s paintings to promote “Milwaukee Artist Market 2006.”
Queer Life, a monthly newspaper published regionally, described Carolyn Snow’s work in November, 2005, "Her icons are male and female, the extended family, static and in motion, observing and doing, but all part of daily existence. Snow sees them as primitive blatant life forces, representative of humanity, maternity and ancestral lineage."
Collections
Snow’s paintings are found in private collections in Illinois, Indiana, New York, and Wisconsin.
