Carmen Navar

Carmen Navar is a multimedia artist whose mission statement is to, Create peace and beauty in a stress filled world'. Communicating her language through the movement of powerful brushstrokes and mark making, her work borders on the realm of emotion, abstraction and figuration. Most of Carmen's ideas come from the inner landscape of her soul. Her challenge as an artist is to give voice to these images and thoughts and to prompt the viewer to transcend the obvious and explore the value and beauty within themselves, holding their interest

into a thought provoking quest. In her work she has no preconceived idea of the final product. It is at this juncture as an artist, that she realizes she is being influenced by a greater 'Force' that ties opportunities and possibilities in with 'Divine Intervention'. She has won many awards.

She was Valedictorian of her Design class at the Southwest Institute of Design, won Best of Show at the Westside Art Guild, won First Place at the Annual Lady of Guadalupe Show, was in the show 'Inquisitive Eyes' at the El Paso Museum of Art and has been in various solo, group and juried shows in El Paso, Juarez, and Latin America. Most recently she received her Bachelor's Degree in Multidisciplinary Studies in Drawing at the University of Texas at El Paso.
