About The Artist
Carrie Clayden is a California-based abstract floral artist whose work captures the ethereal essence of nature through a distinctive semi-abstract style. Her technique, which combines dry brushing with a masterful understanding of light, creates luminous compositions that vibrate with life and untold stories.
Drawing inspiration from impressionism, particularly Claude Monet's work, Clayden has developed a unique approach to painting that includes using her fingers to "dance" color onto the canvas. This intimate connection with the medium allows her to create works of remarkable depth and emotional resonance.
Her creative process emphasizes the importance of layering, which she views as essential to building rich, evocative narratives within each piece. Working on multiple canvases simultaneously, Clayden's paintings celebrate feminine energy, the renewal of spring, and the mysterious stories held within aged objects. Her work achieves a timeless quality that suggests each piece has evolved over a lifetime.
