Biography of Carolynn Fischel

While working as an administrative judge in Massachusetts, Carolynn Fischel met and began to study painting with artist Ilona Royce-Smithkin. Ilona is an Impressionist painter of national stature; portraitist to America's celebrities and statesmen, and past host of three educational television series on fine painting. "Ilona Upstairs" won first prize as a documentary at the Povincetown International Film Festival in June 2005. Under Ilona's masterful teaching, oil and watercolor painting rapidly became Carolynn's passion.

Carolynn's extensive collection features cottages, dunes and harbors of Cape Cod, where she summers. At home, in Boston and Cambridge, she depicts antique bridges, buildings, and people at play. Her work has become increasingly noticed and shown in galleries, resturants, and major events, both locally in Boston and on Cape Cod. Carolynn's work was featured in the Boston Globe on May 25, 2000 and in the Boston Law Tribune in March 5, 2001.
