I'm Carolynne Fromme

In 2009, I founded Fromme Productions LLC, dedicated to creating original fine art that confronts, comforts, and compels viewers to pause in a world that rarely allows for stillness. My work emerges from an intuitive process: energetic, gestural brushstrokes that channel emotion, memory, and sensation into visual language. I paint because I refuse to be quiet.
I am a visual artist and painter based in Manhattan. The relentless pulse of urban life has shaped my practice, along with my studies at NYU and my mentors at the Art Students League, particularly Knox Martin. My abstract expressionist and impressionistic paintings are born from a place of reckoning. They hold the weight of what I've witnessed, the places that have marked me, and the urgent need to create work that resists.
I see the same forces that destroy the earth destroying women. The same systems that exploit, extract, and silence. The same refusal to listen. My work is rooted in ecofeminism, in the belief that our survival depends on rejecting domination in all its forms. These are not paintings about beauty for beauty's sake. They are paintings about what happens when you pay attention, when you refuse to look away from what's being destroyed.
In a moment when America has stumbled, when women's voices and bodies are under siege, when the planet is burning and those in power shrug, my work offers something essential: a place for your eyes to rest, to grieve, to rage, and to remember what it feels like to be moved by something real. The gestural marks on my canvases are not decorative. They are evidence of presence, of refusing to disappear, of insisting that what we feel matters.
Alongside my painting practice, I am working on a humorous children's book set in New York City about a brother who delights in pranking his little sister. It's a funny book, full of mischief and laughter, a dynamic anyone with an older sibling knows intimately. Beneath the humor lies a quiet thread of magic: protective companions that offer comfort and the kind of backup we all wished for growing up. The book is written, and I am currently completing the illustrations and finalizing the title.
And then there are the cards. Oh, the cards. I make cards that are sharp, unflinching, and a little dangerous, like a rat that just ran in front of me as I was passing the Chanel store on Madison Avenue. They tackle politics, love, family, and the utterly ridiculous state of life in America right now. No Hallmark smiles here. Just laughter, truth, and a touch of mischief for anyone brave enough to send it. They're coming soon. Watch for them.

Along with creating art, I teach painting to children and adults worldwide, both online and in homes throughout New York City. I teach that being an artist requires courage to witness, to listen deeply, and to resist the impulse to look away. Art is not background noise or decorative filler. It is a language that challenges, questions, and creates space for what we cannot easily articulate. It is how we remember that our voices, our bodies, our planet are worth defending.

This is a brand new website, built with reliability and transparency in mind. You can trust that it will function seamlessly, and the pricing reflects a commitment to fairness and accessibility. With a dedication to quality and integrity, Fromme Productions LLC has been recognized as a Trusted Art Seller.

If you live in NYC and purchase a painting, I offer a discount because I will personally deliver your artwork and assist with the hanging. It's a benefit of being in the city.

MOST IMPORTANT TO ME:

The art in your home should not be a solution to empty wall space. I create paintings that demand something from you: attention, reflection, an emotional response you didn't know you needed. My work connects with the parts of you that have been buried: grief you haven't processed, anger you've been told to suppress, longing you've learned to ignore.

Hanging my art on your wall is not about joy. It's about truth. It's about allowing yourself to feel fully in a time that demands numbness. My intent is not to soothe, but to awaken. To remind you that resistance, memory, and beauty can coexist. To remind you that caring about what happens to women, to the earth, to each other is not weakness. It's the only thing that will save us.
To offer your eyes a place to land when everything else feels like too much.

I am an artist, and this is the art I create.
