Carol Armstrong is a nationally acclaimed, award winning artist working out of Oklahoma. Her oil paintings are executed in the realistic tradition and often celebrate the American West and all of its diverse beauty with brilliant colors and bravado brushstrokes on dramatically lit canvases. Carol Armstrong focuses primarily on the human figure and his or her many different encounters and interactions with the surrounding world.

It is both Carol Armstrong’s interest in American history and her own Native American heritage that have led her to this subject matter. Her maternal links to the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889 and paternal links to the Cherokee and Delaware Tribes allow her an optimal approach to what many of us perceive as the American West. She portrays a reverence to humanity in narrative scenes, intimate moments of real interaction where, for many, the collective memory, reality, and the fantastic collide.

Since receiving her Bachelor’s of Art degree in Fine Art from the University of Central Oklahoma, she has spent almost 30 years working professionally as both an artist and a painting instructor. Carol Armstrong in listed in Who’s Who in American Art. She is also a Signature Member of both the Oklahoma Watercolor Association and the Oklahoma Art Guild and a certified Delaware Cherokee Indian artist.
