Carolyn Laidley Arn
Carolyn Laidley Arn is a retired interior designer and a senior professional in commercial real estate in Toronto, Canada.
Carolyn built a successful business career but always felt that there was a part of her missing. So she changed that, and immersed herself in all things art. Now an active professional artist, she spends as much time as she can in her backyard studio.
Carolyn is extremely active in the art scene. She is the Chair of Artists’ Network, an elected member in the Ontario Society of Artists and a member of the Society of Canadian Artists (associate) and the Federation of Canadian Artists (active).
ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Through a comprehensive study of human emotion and energy, my work conveys the complex interconnected systems of life. Circular shapes combine with unexpected colour and pattern, heavy layering, and collage, attempting to achieve balance akin to self-realization. This push and pull of predictability and chaos lead to a final piece that viewers can interpret according to their own personal state of consciousness.
