ARTWALKER Artist Biography

Berverly Carrick
"She gives a magical quality to the landscape," says one collector of Beverly Carrick's elegant view of the desert at sunset. The sun, a red ball of fire poised on the horizon, casts flames of light on the mountains, coloring them in arrays of violets and oranges. A gently meandering river draws the viewer back through nature's portrait for a walk through the tranquil setting.
As a child, Beverly wanted to be a ballerina more than anything. Life threw her a challenge when she lost a leg due to bone cancer. Using art as therapy she discovered the joy of oil painting. "Painting came into my life accidentally yet has given so much back to me in the form of pure satisfaction and delight."
After studying with major Californian artists, Beverly began painting seascapes professionally in 1963. Her seascapes have been praised for their overall peaceful yet dramatic impact. She captures the movement in the rolling waves, the sound of the surf and that fleeting colorful moment when one wishes for a camera.
Breathtaking portrayals of landscapes-vast deserts, majestic mountains, quiet streams-continue to be popular. "What I try to express in my desert paintings", explains Beverly, "is the way light plays upon the land. Lighting, to me, is the magic that makes a harsh landscape beautiful. It can turn a stony, barren mountain into a work of art." Details fall into place and emerge with remarkable precision in her consistently brilliant desert palette.
Beverly's followers praise the beauty of her artistic expression, her intent on accurately rendering the effects of light and shade, the blending of subtle and vibrant colors. She elicits an emotional response in many viewers. "You feel either like you've been there before or like you're seeing a place you'd love to visit soon. Beverly reveals the delicate moods of landscapes, preserves nature in her artful strokes, captures a sense of adventure. You can actually feel the cool water sparkling in the sunlight," expresses an admirer of her work.
Today, oil paintings by this favorite artist appear in fine collections throughout the United Sates and Canada. Leanin' Tree Greeting Card Company publishes her work, and limited editions are also available. The appeal lies in a unique style, and ageless quality. These realistic depictions are a tribute to nature, its hues speaking to viewers from the artist's special vantage point.
