Award winning, pastel and portrait artist, Carol Vogel is known for her realistic and expressive paintings.

Humanitarianism combined with a love of people inspire my pastel portraits and pencil portraits. There is a depth of beauty in every face that reflects an inner soul. Capturing the inner soul is an inborn ability for me that is reflected in my representational and expressive portrait paintings. 

My pastel portraits utilize expressive faces, are classical in style, and realistic in design.  Pencil portraits are created in graphite, hand drawn and custom made for you.

A portrait painting or drawing conveys a mood and personality of the subject and is executed in a style that is unique to the artist. A portrait is a unique work of art that is treasured and passed down as an heirloom from generation to generation.
