Carolyn Biggio, 1958 | Still life painter

By Art periods and styles , , ,

Born in Columbus, Ohio in 1958, Carolyn Biggio grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Her formal schooling earned her a Bachelor of Sciences degree; but she later took up studies in art with Henry Hensche at the Cape School of Art. Other classes with his followers deepened her commitment, and her career path shifted to painting. Ms. Biggio's paintings are pure light and color, primarily of still life.

Ms. Biggio has exhibited her work nationally, receiving numerous awards.
