After years in the Commercial Art World, Carrie Olsen Garrard is finally back in her own home studio. Through her career in Product Development, Carrie has enjoyed the opportunity of engaging in the creation of a wide variety of products in a multitude of mediums. In tandem with many Home Décor, Gift and Garden Companies, Carrie has created products, and gathered cherished experience from around the world.
Carrie has returned to her roots, where she finds herself drawn back to the raw, tactile experience of her hands in clay in all varieties and textures. Casting in Stone compounds provides another layer of nuance of color and texture. This reconnection with the medium has reignited her original inspiration, reminding her of the reasons she chose a creative path in the first place.
Florabundance, is series and testament to this renewed connection. Through her work in clay, Carrie seeks to capture the essence of emotion between subtle human expression and the beauty of nature that surrounds us.
