Carrie Fell
If you need to depict the art of Carrie Fell, you would do well to talk of a romantic Western journey combined with wisdom and poetry. Her contemporary visualization and symbols largely illustrate the attitude of survival and longevity through her deft drawing, use of fluid forms and vivid color.
A native of Denver, Carrie Fell began her professional career as an artist in 1988. She studied interior design in college; remnants of the drawing style of design work are intrinsic to her art. Her use of color, line and negative space also reflect her early training. Carrie discovered her own techniques for using mixed media on canvas and board to create a vision of a unique West.
In 2007, the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia, exhibited Carrie Fell’s first solo museum show, and in 2005 the Booth, the only Western art museum in the South and the second largest art museum in Georgia, acquired Carrie’s painting “Crazy Mountain Saddle Slickers” for its permanent collection. She is represented by galleries in Denver, Vail, Aspen, Santa Fe and Jackson. Along with numerous gallery exhibitions, Carrie also participates in various art invitationals and charity benefits annually. In 1996, she established Significance of Self, an educational program that helps young people express themselves in painting and other media.
