Artist Statement
Carrie Baldwin
I remember being a child and gazing in wonder at the Aurora Borealis, smelling flowers, and late night drives to catch the sunset, I feel so delighted for the opportunity to recreate and share such memories through my art. Inspiration comes from memories, landscapes and grandmas garden of course! Everywhere and anywhere can trigger my creative ideas, my specific style comes out naturally as I paint.
Time stands still when in creative mode; I paint on hardboard or canvas in acrylic paint and thickening mediums, applying texture using a pallet knife (Impasto). I am fascinated with the feeling of a piece created by delicate balances. I find myself drawn towards texture and contrast, which makes up the majority of my paintings. Liking my art to have movement and ambiance, be fun but intense with emotion, I work quickly and intuitively. The interaction of glossy contrast and depth is what makes my paintings unique.
In the end, it is the viewers connection and their emotional experience with my art that matters, It is the process of creating something with my hands, that someone will find their own fulfillment with which fuels my passion and keeps me doing what I love.
