About Véro Carignan

ART

Vero Carignan is a Cape Cod painter, based in East Sandwich. Vero’s large, bold paintings draw on inspiration from the local landscape, her home, garden and family. Her contemporary paintings are acrylic, often with details in oil pastel, and use vibrant colors to express her passion for the world around her. Previously an environmental chemist, Vero is enthusiastic about connecting sustainable art with her community and environment; as such, she relies on used and found materials for many of her paintings. ​

WRITING
