Carol Schaeffer began
painting as a young
girl in elementary school in Philadelphia in the 1940s,
attending Saturday art classes all through grade and high
school. She attended art classes in Germantownand
also at what
is now known as the University of the Arts at Broad and Pine
Streets in Philadelphia.
Much of
her adult life she was employed by architects and design
centers, being able to use her talent for rendering perspective
drawings of projects. She attended as many local art classes as
her busy schedule with family and employment allowed.
Now
with her children all grown, Carol has time to paint as much as
she wishes. She paints mainly landscapes in oil in Newtown
Square and surrounding areas. A member of the Newtown Square
Preservation Society, she feels compelled to capture the old
buildings and scenes in the area before the developers capture
them.
Carol
serves on the Board of the Artists' Guild
of Delaware County, and the Art League. She shows at many art
shows in the area and has received ribbons at several. Many of
her works are part of public and private collections throughout
the United States. |
