Carol Lambert’s development as an artist started very young, when she discovered her grandfather’s studio at the top of what seemed, at the time, to be a long and high flight of stairs. The portrait of her handsome uncle, killed in the war, smiled at her from the wall opposite the door. The room smelled of modeling clay and paint. She never knew what she would find there. As far as she was concerned, it was the best room in the universe.

Lambert was similarly fascinated by her grandmother’s microscopically accurate drawings of human tissue. Flora Schaefer Lambert was a medical illustrator. Her grandfather, Jack Lambert, was a portrait artist and political cartoonist.

Since then, her primary sources of inspiration have been the Dutch Still Life painters of the 17th and 18th centuries, the 19th century American painter Raphaelle Peale, and numerous American Landscape painters of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Her method is based on classical principles of harmony, deep observation, and technical expertise. She combines the sensuality and precision of painters from earlier centuries with a 21st century sensibility.

Carol Lambert’s travels have taken her from civilization to wilderness and back. She has spent many hours in the great museums of Europe and the United States. She has also guided on whitewater rivers, and hiked in remote areas of Alaska. She has lived in a Paris apartment, an English cottage, a house on the Baltic, a room in Rome, a fishing boat in Kodiak, and a Quonset hut. She currently lives in Anchorage.

She loves Tove Jansson’s books and illustrations, enjoys classic blues music, and is an avid reader of Neal Stephenson’s novels.
She has almost always owned a small boat.

The work of an artist is to attempt to know the world. My method is to look closely. I bring as much focus and skill as I can to the task of looking. My work is my response to the power, mystery, humor, oddity, and beauty I see when I look closely at the world.

I look for meaning in what I see. It is possible to see the world in nihilistic terms, a place where humanity is lost, disembodied, trivialized and traumatized. That dark vision has some validity, but as an artist I do not choose nihilism. I believe that art defeats nihilism.

I am inspired by artists whose discipline and passion enabled them to create works that hold our interest over centuries. Whether they saw humanity in terms of weakness or strength, they found meaning in the human condition. I very humbly follow in their footsteps.

My intention is to offer you, the viewer, a mixture of pleasure, intellectual challenge, intrigue, and self-recognition. Some pieces here are lighthearted, some are quick sketches, and some are the result of long contemplation. If something here sparks your curiosity, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will be happy to discuss, answer questions, and give you more background.
