Caroline Gonzales
@carolinegonzales_art
Caroline Gonzales is an abstract artist, born and raised in San Antonio, Texas. Gonzales' work reflects her journey as a woman through obstacles, challenges, and celebrations. Gonzales envisages her blank canvas by digging deep into her emotions and realizations. Colors, forms, and movements all playing a part in her orchestrated conclusion- whether it be one piece or a series for this to happen.
Caroline Gonzales obtained her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Texas A&M- Kingsville in 2015. Gonzales has since moved back to San Antonio, where she met her husband, Albert Gonzales. Both having a passion in the arts, and goals for a larger picture, they learned to work together on business endeavors, while still encouraging the individuality of one and other's space and freedom as artists.
Gonzales co-owns Southtown Art Gallery with her husband in San Antonio. In 2019, they decided to consolidate their studios and the gallery into one place, making it a studio/workspace and gallery. During this year Gonzales also gave birth to their first child. This gave much change and form to new bodies of work she started creating. In February 2021, Gonzales made the leap, and went full-time into her art career.

This unique blend of influences is the foundation upon which Gonzales builds his artistic legacy.

My name is Abernathie Colette aka Pangolin Orange. This name of my endeavor is many things. A person, place, a thing, a vessel, a mood, an energy. Pangolin Orange is many things as is my work. Sometimes the piece is a deep reflection or comment on life, other times, simply tongue in cheek. Crossing mediums of oil painting to etched glass I seek to capture all the things in my head, heart and soul in ways that can be shared and leave a mark even when I'm gone. Begin, the Age of Abbylon.
