About Carrie
At its core my work is about “life”; Defined as: a principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings. My work is not just about human life but all life. I am especially interested in the delicate nature of life, its brevity and fragility. I hope to capture some of the delicacy and impermanence of life within my work; I feel that (because of their fragile forms) flowers and insects express this well.
Carrie Garrott is an artist and educator living and working in Collin County Texas. She has always had a curiosity and love for the natural world. She designs with elements found in nature, predominantly botanicals and insects. She strives to capture the idea of fragility and ephemerality in her work by drawing attention to the delicate vulnerability of her subjects and materials.
Carrie's artwork has been included in various publications worldwide including “Dreaming Jewelry” and “The Art of Jewelry: Paper Jewelry”. Her work is included in private and public collections, most notably the Museum of Art and Design in New York, NY and the Racine Art Museum in Racine, Wisconsin.
