Originals on Canvas

Art for the old soul

PAINTING WITH BRUSH & HISTORY

Richly layered surfaces and narrative-driven compositions, Carrie weaves together vintage book pages, historical imagery, handwritten text, and fragments of sheet music with expressive brushstrokes creating work that is timeless and distinctly American.

  • “From wildlife to iconic celebrities, Carrie’s work is one of a kind. Her style is textured, sophisticated, and memorable as she uses mixed media to compliment her subjects.”

    — Katie Jones, owner of Buckhead Art & Company

  • “I was excited to return to Charleston this year for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition, it is one of my favorite art events. I had two immediate thoughts when I saw Carrie's paintings. Her artwork deserved to be seen in Jackson Hole, and her paintings would do very well in the gallery. Fortunately, I was right on both counts. I'll have an eye on Carrie's new paintings for many years to come.”

    — Scott Jones, Art Sales Consultant, WA

  • “Carrie’s perspective is so refreshing in the world of wildlife arts. Her mix of materials and neutrals reads almost modern, but with the sincerity of a traditional passion for nature and wildlife subjects. Specifically, her bird dog compositions are some of my favorites in that you don’t have to be a hunter to fall in love with them. They can speak to anyone who truly has an appreciation for nature.”

    — Melissa Ippensen, Barnsley Resort
