CAROL OVERDAHL SHOWING AT BUTCH BLUM

This month we are featuring paintings by Seattle artist Carol Overdahl! Adventurous and multitalented, Overdahl's life has included, among other exciting accomplishments, managing Barney's New York Seattle for 16 years, and ascending Mount Everest and reaching Advanced Base Camp at 21,300 feet!

“I imagine my paintings into existence. I prefer to paint the unseen. I blur the boundaries between sensuality and spirituality-

blending my physical and mystical self. I am a mountain climber. I often use my hands to work the canvas and sometimes the weight of my body. The subject of willpower rivets me and ultimately the subject of personal power

permeates all of my work.”

-Carol Overdahl

A portion of the painting sales go to the Marsha Rivkin Center for Ovarian Cancer Research. Additional works are currently being shown at Marco Two Union Square!
