About Carrie

I know what its like to finally carve out time for your art, only to sit there in your studio, staring at the canvas, wondering how to begin.

Perhaps you’ve heard your inner critic whisper,

“What’s next?!”

“This will be a waste of materials.”

“I should be doing something more important.”

But here’s the truth: the worst thing isn’t making imperfect art…

it’s not showing up at all.

I am a Mom to a strong, smart 5-year-old, a fur-mom to a doodle that’s more muppet than dog, and currently live in Calgary, Canada.

When I’m not playing board games with my hubby, I’m baking chocolate chip cookies with tahini (try it!), obsessively reading non-fiction, and making my own art.

If you’re ready to stop doubting and start creating, sign up for my workshop, for free. Together, we’ll build a plan of action to bring the ideas in your mind to life on canvas.

What I loved the most was your authentic and honest way of listening to my questions and giving your feedback…I love that you also discuss the emotions and business side of being an artist. I feel that you care and you have helped me to stay focused.

You are amazing and a true gift for all artists!

Thank you Carrie! I have learned so much from you, and the Artist Strong community. Finding you and this group several years ago made all the difference for me to pursue art AND think of myself as an artist, despite the “self-taught” stigma 😉
