{"title":"Carolyn Steele ","description":"\u003cp\u003eI am a snorkaholic. The very first time I put on a mask and discovered the magical underwater world of reefs, I was hooked forever. It is the snorkeling experience that truly opened my eyes to the diversity of nature as a whole. I am always inspired by the amazing color, complexity, and beauty of the wildlife I have observed over my years of traveling in the Caribbean. My images are composed of elements that a nature lover might encounter during a morning walk or an afternoon of freediving.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI grew up in England, and when I was little, I took private art classes in the countryside where I created detailed studies of wildlife and flora on various media. My father, also an artist, inspired and encouraged me from the beginning. I started painting Caribbean scenes in 1992, to prolong the memory of my visits to the Antilles.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have a background in graphic design, which helped me develop my sense of composition, an important element of all my paintings. In graphic design\/lithography, I was limited in my use of color. Painting the tropics allowed me to unleash my creativity. I love working large. I rarely work below 18 x 24 inches, and most of my paintings are on 22 x 30 inch, 300-pound watercolor paper. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI am committed to nature education and conservation, which is why I donate a portion of my profits to wildlife and reef preservation projects. I hope my works will decorate and make people appreciate the incredible variety and fragility of the biosystems I paint. The majority of the species represented here are native to the Antilles, and many of them are endangered.\u003c\/p\u003e ","products":[{"product_id":"0343-coral-canyon","title":"Coral Canyon","description":"\u003cp\u003eBased on the same concept as mosaics or paint-by-number activities, diamond painting is a creative hobby that involves placing tiny colored \"diamonds\" on a printed image to create a mosaic picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row faso-about-section-about\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-3-5\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"margin-bottom faso-about-section-bio\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row faso-about-section-about\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-3-5\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"margin-bottom faso-about-section-bio\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiamond painting allows for a relaxing and meditative experience, as well as the satisfaction of creating a true work of art.
