The Unique Flavor of Scavotto Designs

Carol Scavotto has been in this business for some time. As her website headline states, a journey through artistic healing, she certainly reinvents traditional art in many forms. Her art, which consists of music books, floor cloths and traditional paintings is inspired by personal feelings and drive. She considers art as artistic healing through personal experience and converts those feelings into something positive to share with others. Carol began showing Art work in grammar school and has always been creating works of art since then.

The paintings, which consists of exaggerated features on faces and body has a very consistent style. Movement is portrayed with deep highlighted colors and rounded forms in bodies which highlight her background in figurative studies. "Some people express themselves in words, I think in pictures and express myself in visual images and the medium has changed may times throughout my life" she says.

When Carol was showing art work in grammar school she developed a sense and style of her work. Her main influences of her family, mostly by father and brother. Also, a 9th grade Art teacher named Mr. Nia and a notable influences of works of Frances Bacon and Norman Rockwell. Ballet classes and people in the general population also give Scavotto her artistic motivation.  She went on to explain, "I could go on and on for this question (influences)....I just see things in a visual form".

Based out of the great state of Rhode Island, her exhibition credentials are exclusively New England based.  Her art appeared at some hot spots in Newport Rhode Island and larger universities such as URI and Umass (Amherst). Some of work also appears regularly at Gallery X in New Bedford MA and Gallery Z in Providence RI.

She also does her own floor mats, which historically, date back to 14th Century France. Carol has her own version which are painted on heavy gauge canvas and sealed with varnish. You can consider them floor cloths or placemats and can be custom made in a wide range of sizes at your personal request. All pieces are personally signed works of art. Samples on the website are for sale and are beautiful and some of the most durable pieces of mats created.
