About Me
- Art by Carrie Ade
- My work reflects my personal perspective of the world and the way I look at things and experience life. I aim to express my gratitude and appreciation for the beauty and magnificence of the natural world in all of its intricacies, and to instil those feelings in others. I choose not to work from photographs, but rather from my experiences observing and exisiting in my natural surroundings. The earth and elements are always transforming and in understanding this, I allow my canvas to be alive. I allow the colours and contours to metamorphosis with moods and emotions evoked throughout the course of a work, with a single painting free to move through storm and calm, across see and land, night and day. I work in the style of exaggerated realism using a combination of acrylic and oil paints. My greatest passion is to paint on larger scale canvas, as allows me the presence to draw the eyes in, to enrapture the the onlooker and imbue the emotions of grandeur and allurement that I experience when I view the world.
