The Yaaas Queen! solo show was a hit!

I’m pleased to share my month-long solo show at the Lawrence Library Art Gallery in Pepperell, MA was well received! It was an honor to show my work in such a beautiful historic space. It was exciting to be able to share my vision and my work with art lovers IN-PERSON. Most of the people I spoke with have been to Acadia National Park and were able to really see its influence in all the paintings.

Here is the description of the work, in case you want to know more:

In this stunningly unique series, Carty celebrates the majesty of Mother Nature with vivid colors and marks inspired by the great outdoors. Inspired by topographic maps, she folds and manipulates raw canvas into mountains, valleys, lakes, and rivers as if seen from a passing plane. The canvas is dyed using acrylic inks, acrylic paint, and pencil. As visual inspiration, Carty refers to her numerous travels to Acadia National Park, Maine and Portland, Maine where she grew up. She is moved by the numerous colorful eco-systems on display; from the tide pools to the fresh water springs and lush forests.

Thank you to the Lawrence Library Art Gallery for featuring me for February 2023, it was a lovely experience!
