Carol J. Mathews Watercolor Painting "Scatter Brain"

Item Details

A watercolor painting on paper titled Scatter Brain by American artist Carol J. Mathews (1956-2015). This painting prominently features the words ‘Scatter Brain: a person incapable of serious, connected thought’, surrounded by amorphous washes of bright color in multiple hues. It is unsigned, and is marked to the verso with a stamp from the artist’s estate. The work is presented without framing, in a protective acetate sleeve. A printed artist’s statement is present to the verso.

Mathews, known for her colorful and expressive paintings and drawings, describes her work as follows: “having painted for over 25 years, it is difficult to describe my art but whimsical, abstract, and fantasy come to mind.” After years of suffering from mental illness, Carol’s art became a crucial conduit for her internal turmoil. A portion of the proceeds from this sale will go to NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. For more information about the artist visit the link in Additional Information.
