Equal parts artist and outdoor enthusiast, Carol Chamberland finds inspiration in the wild landscapes and history of New Mexico. She holds a BFA in Painting from Arizona State University, plus an MA and MFA in Conceptual Design from San Francisco State University. Her recent works include gouache and pencil compositions, computer graphics design and creative video.
Since relocating here in 2004, Ms. Chamberland's works have been exhibited in a variety of venues, including the New Mexico State Fair, the Placitas Artist Series, the Arts Alliance Gallery, Art Gallery 66, Taos Center for the Arts, the Art Center at Fuller Lodge, the Albuquerque Open Space Visitor Center and the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History Gallery Store. Her works are in private collections across the United States, Canada and Europe, as well as in the permanent collections of Albuquerque's Open Space Alliance and Museum of Art and History. She is represented in Albuquerque by the Weyrich Gallery and in Santa Fe on the Museums of New Mexico Foundation's website. She was Artist in Residence at Canyons of the Ancients National Monument in 2012 and awarded as Albuquerque Local Treasure by the Arts Business Association.
Beyond her formal training, travel constitutes a large part of her continuing education, with visits to exotic and remote destinations marking high points in her life. She serves as a docent at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History and also leads a team of volunteer rock art recorders for the Bureau of Land Management. She is happiest when outdoors with pack and camera, exploring the vast wilderness of the American Southwest.
