Carol Guzman

Carol Guzman was born in St. Louis, Missouri.  She lived, worked and studied in New York City and the Hudson Valley for 13 years where she received a bachelor’s degree in Art and Art History.  She studied Old Masters' techniques at Parsons School of Design, painted portrait commissions, landscapes and still life in her Tribeca studio. 

Drawing from traditional painting techniques, Carol’s oil paintings transcend alla prima painting.  She prefers to paint in her studio and working over a period of time in layers creating visual texture and interest. Her subjects range from wildlife, still life, landscapes, florals and objects of interest including intriguing Native American artifacts and antique toys.

She now lives in south central Montana with her husband, artist Clyde Aspevig. surrounded by three mountain ranges. She loves traveling and seeing the many great museums of the world.

Carol also is a founder of Landsnorkel.com, which is about taking the time to savor aspects of nature we ordinarily don’t see or pay attention to. Land snorkelers wander through nature with no intention of hiking to a destination.
