Carrie is drawn to materials and themes that are labelled: decorative, feminine (or feminist), and craft. They include acrylic paint, gold leaf, pencil, watercolor, gouache and embroidery. 

“I grew up with a mother who was a maker. She was always building things: weaving baskets, embroidery, sewing, painting... you name it I was witness to her exploring the material. She has been and still is a wonderful example of someone who enjoys creativity for the sake of doing it. 

Her curiosity and interest in multiple mediums is part of my influence. I create art that is painted, which also incorporates mixed media materials including gold leaf and embroidery.”
