About

Carol DeMumbrum – Portrait and Landscape Artist

I paint to preserve the fleeting—nostalgic moments, quiet connections, and the stories that make us who we are. Growing up on a dairy farm in Brentwood, Tennessee, I was shaped by the beauty of the countryside and the warmth of close-knit community. My passion lies in capturing the essence of a person—their spirit, their story—through expressive, impressionistic portraits. Whether it’s the wonder in a child’s eyes or the quiet strength of a loved one, my goal is to create artwork that feels timeless and deeply personal. In addition to portraiture, I am committed to preserving the landscapes that have inspired me since childhood. As a member of The Chestnut Group, a nonprofit of plein air artists dedicated to protecting Middle Tennessee’s natural beauty and historic spaces, I use my art to support conservation efforts in our region. I now live with my husband in the landscape that first awakened my creativity, continually inspired by the people and places that surround me. If you’re looking for a portrait that preserves something truly special, I’d love to create it for you.
