LPAPA Signature Artist Member Carole Gray-Weihman
of Petaluma, California
LPAPA’s March 2017 featured Signature Artist Member of the Month.

After a period of exploring abstract expressionism in her early years, by the mid 90’s, Carole had found her passion in the beauty of plein air…Today, she is a devoted painter of the “New American Impressionist Movement”.  Her mission, as a painter, is to effectively apply colors in a beautiful combination to transmit the many moods of nature. She tries to take an honest approach of painting the specific color relationships that she sees to interpret the many light keys that nature provides –that’s what ultimately inspires her.
