Carol Dameron is a St. Petersburg artist who began her formal art education at the Sophie Newcomb College of Tulane University in New Orleans, continuing at the Louvre Museum, The Centre Americain in Paris, the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Dijon, France and the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Inspired by Venetian Renaissance painter Giorgione, Dameron uses her figure and landscape works to convey the visible and invisible, expressing "silence through situational and spatial ambiguity in order to reveal a deeper reality behind the surface of things." Her works have been described as rich and luminous, allegorical, and a fusion of contemporary mythological and erotic vision with classical European techniques. Her works are in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg and the Polk Museum in Lakeland.
