Title
CAROL ES - contemporary artist
Description
Carol Es is a self-taught artist and native Los Angelina born in 1968 to a middle class Jewish mother and working class Mennonite father. Her dichotomous, artistic nature formed early at age six, drawing cartoons underneath tables in bowling alleys. Shy and reclusive, she spent most of her time alone while her family relocated more than 15 times before her tenth birthday. As a result, she attended school infrequently and wound up leaving home early to fend for herself. Much of her adolescence was spent alone in public libraries, teaching herself to read.
At a time when most kids her age were in Junior High School, she worked as a pattern cutter in the apparel industry. In her teens she began to establish herself as a musician, artist and writer. She formed a clientele by distributing her own chapbooks and hand-made zines, while building her reputation as a musician through touring, writing and recording rock, punk, Hip Hop and R&B. After more than 15 years as a drummer, Carol set aside playing professionally in order to concentrate more privately on her art. She has since become a prolific and dedicated visual artist.
Now residing in the Los Angeles harbor area, she has come to express herself wholly in her art after surviving childhood abuse, neglect, rape and disability. She has used past experience as the fuel for subject matter, transforming a broken past into a positive and hopeful present and future.
