Carole Segal was born and educated in Montreal, Quebec. She is an impressionist painter of oils and pastels with a growing reputation. Her still life, character portrait and figure paintings have been seen and acclaimed recently in several Canadian exhibitions.
Segal's paintings reflect a special kind of freshness and spontaneity. "Impressionism for me is a style that fits a way of seeing". Keeping paintings spontaneous and free from small detail enables the viewers to participate in the work by using their own imagination.
During the past ten years, Segal has gained wide experience and acceptance as an artist-instructor.
Major works of her oil and pastel paintings are to be found in many private collections, banks and
corporations, both here in Canada and United States, Europe and Israel.
Segal's studies have taken her to the Southwestern United States and has completed studies with David Leffel, Joyce Pike and Harley Brown (originally from Calgary). Segal is a founding signature member of the Pastel Society of Eastern Canada.
