Ms. Dameron taught anatomy and figure drawing at the Morean Arts Center from 1992-2004. She teaches advanced painting at the Suntan Art Center and works with private students.
“Dameron is such a fine painter, the trees are gauzy leaves against startling white could-bursts, the swish of a dog’s tail, the overall details that remind one of a 17 century baroque paintings, all contribute to a sense of drama. Their muscular handling is very 20th century.she describes her subject matter as allegorical and I agree…use of oil paint creates a rich,luminous surface…Enjoy.”

“Carol Dameron best combines a mythological and erotic vision with the classical techniques normally associated with the best European artists. She is somebody you want to collect.”
