Carrie Carey

I have been a printmaker from an early age, always experimenting and playing with processes, breaking with tradition and exploring new ways of making. After spending many lunchtimes in the school art department, I went on to study a BA(Hons) Illustration at the University of Westminster, London, and later trained to teach art at Bath Spa University, U.K. As an educator I have learnt so much from my students both young and old.

 

My current work marries my love for the outdoors with innovative print processes. Many of my works are essentially a one off Screen-printed painting with a hand drawn image screen printed /woodblock over the top. 

 

Inspired by bush walks in and around Wellington, I strive to use vibrant colour and playful imagery to capture the unique quality of NZ flora.
