First off, thank you so much for taking the time to visit my page and view my work!
My name is Carie and I am an artist from Charlotte, NC currently living in Dallas, TX.
Growing up, both my grandmothers had various hobbies crafting things for the sake of gifting them to others. I spent much of my childhood scrapbooking, making DIY holiday decor and selling hand-made jewelry with my Mom. My sister was extremely artistic, and other members of my extended family have amazed me with their creative abilities over the years. I guess you can say my "I can make that" mentality is both nature and nurture.
Despite wanting to be an artist when I was little, I went to college and graduated with a Finance degree from UNC Charlotte in 2019. Since then, I've been on my "corporate girlie grind" and mostly used my skills doing DIY projects around the house and creating top-notch PowerPoint presentations at work.
A few years back I decided to paint a scene from my first trip abroad to Interlaken, Switzerland and the results sparked a fire in me to commit more of my time to this craft. Recreating images based on photos has become my niche, as I can tap into both my analytical side as well as my creative one. If you know me, I'm a perfectionist, so I also enjoy the challenge to worry less about achieving perfection and focus more on my imagination.
While the title of "artist" is self-proclaimed here, I guess you could say I am just working to make younger me proud.
When I’m not painting or working my full-time job, I like to spend time with friends/family, travel to new places, go on long walks, cook and snuggle my 13 year old cat, Muffy.
I would love the opportunity to create a piece for you!
Please feel free to connect with me on socials below. :)
Best,
Carie (“CMG”)
