Artist Statement:
C. Tolpo Studio works from
Florida to Hawaii.
C.Tolpo studio is a working
studio and custom painting is
my specialty – Portraits:
people or a memory adventure.
Commission a painting online
via my website,
www.tolpohawaiiart.com, see
links below. C.Tolpo guidance
in such doing makes your
portrait experience
exceptional, or leave it up to
the artist.
"Portrait making can evoke
memories and share pathways to
kinship." Carolyn Tolpo Smith
Portrait making itself can
stimulate an attitude of
adventure, becoming a quest to
find and render truths and
characteristics specific to
the subject. This is a
different attitude than
perhaps making a visual
construct representation or
explanation of the subject. It
is like an invitation to a
party of provocative ideas, a
dance to creative adventures,
and a banquet for the soul.
Usually we think of portraits
as being of people, but
portrait-making attitudes can
apply to just about anything,
such as pets, objects, places,
sounds and even plants. Here
are some examples...

and online commentary since
