Artist Statement:
Carol Hernandez is an animal

Although Hernandez, who paints
in both oil and acrylic,
received a formal art
education, graduating with
honors, she believes her best
training has come from
studying the work of her
favorite artists.
She was able to view first
hand works by Rembrandt,
Rubens, Monet and many other
old master paintings during
her tenure at the J. Paul
Getty Museum. At the Getty she
managed the creation of the
high-resolution digital
archive of the museum’s art
collection.
Carol’s work begins with one

used as a reference. Using
multiple layers of paint,
pencil and pastel she builds
her paintings slowly using
color to create a painting

experience.
In 2007 Carol won First Place
in The Artist Magazine Contest
for her ...
