I was Born In Colorado and lived there for half of my life (sadly, that will change as I get older.) I have lived in Massachusetts since. Art has always been my calm and happy place. It is my way of disconnecting and expressing my joys and feelings in a beautiful way. College tends to take up a lot of time for every student. For now, I can only dive into my work if I sign up for an art class or during summer break. I try to do photography whenever I find some part of nature or scenery that catches my eye, and id like to paint someday. I have begun working with graphic design lately, but those are not ready for the public yet. I spent some time outside my comfort zone and tried kinetic art, working with lights, speakers, and motors. My favorite piece that came out of that journey was my boom box. I designed some songs for the sound system to truly make the project a piece of myself. I have always wanted it, and I am glad I spent the time making one for myself. I Jumped into a wire sculpture phase, which tore my hands up during every project. However, it was lots of fun and had some cool outcomes. Despite my adventuring to different media, painting has stolen my heart. It wasn’t my first media practice, but it is soothing. Blending Colors and creating making images out of technical blobs of goo is pretty amazing. My biggest inspiration, as mentioned, comes from nature. It is simple, peaceful, quiet, and admirable. I like to call myself a sunset chaser. The bright colors are mesmerizing in the way they can change the way the world looks around them. When I am old and I croak, I hope to be reincarnated as the sunset. Surprisingly I never thought a sunrise could ever measure to the charm of the sunrise.

Hi Carley,
Your cherry tree is so pretty! I would give you the ‘cute’ badge. I love the environmental theme you have with the flower paintings 🙂
striking – your cherry blossom tree is eyecatching
Gorgeous- The image of the sunset is very beautiful. Reminds me of when I went to Cadillac mountain to see the very clear sunrise. I highly recommend you go if you haven’t seen it already.
Colorful – I like your bright colors and floral works (especially the cherry blossoms because I’m from the DC area)
Gorgeous – I liked the sunflower painting a lot – and as an isometric game enthusiast, the sketch too
Badge ~ “Striking”
The lines of color used in the Cherry Blossom Tree and the detail of the rocks sitting in the river are great accents to the painting.
Hi Carley, I’d like to give you the striking badge because your art really catches the eye and they’re all really beautiful!
colorful – All of your art is so colorful! I love the cherry blosson painting and the jupiter you made
Carley, I like how great the diversity of your thought is, and how many forms your artistic expression takes. I would describe all works with a striking badge.
