Carol Mazzotta’s landscape paintings are studies in the depth of the natural, sun-illuminated colors of the rolling valleys, mountain villages, city alleys and hillside steps, of Rome and northern Italy. The regions of Tuscany and Rome, and indeed their traditions and cultural history, are places close to the heart of the artist – her husband Giuseppe is a native of Italy and Professor of Italian Literature at Yale University. Her color palette of refined earth-tones, clear blue skies and purple shadowed clouds brings forth the warmth and elegance of
architecture and countryside.

Ms. Mazzotta received her Masters of Philosophy in French Literature from Yale University, and her B.A. from Tufts, after studying Extra-Mural painting at Cornell. She also received her Masters in Studio Art and her K-12 Teaching Certificate from Southern Connecticut State University.

Ms. Mazzotta is a volunteer art instructor at Fellowship Place, New Haven; and a volunteer liturgical artist at Saint Rita’s Church in Hamden. Until 1999, she was a an art teacher in area parochial and public school systems, and in the 1980’s an adjunct professor of Drawing at Southern Connecticut State University.

Her art works have been awarded many honors over the years, beginning with a Woodrow Wilson Scholarship for her studies at Yale.

Carol Mazzotta is represented by ShoreLine Arts of Westbrook. Her work has widely shown in the New Haven area, recently at The Frame Shop, Flew the Coop Gallery, Eierweiss Gallery, and at the Yale Graduate Club and the New Haven Lawn & Tennis Club.
