Inspired by nature, I aim to create art that breaths harmony into a space. I love studying the tides, watching the water pull back and forth, weaving in and out. I strive to capture that fleeting moment of magic between the waves—the moment of transformation between crest and trough.
By exploring the duality of yin and yang moments in nature, I try to express movement and life with my pieces. Before completing a piece, I will often create and destroy it a few times until satisfying a dynamic interplay of opposing, yet complimentary gestures. Through this process of creation and destruction, the piece becomes a meditation of exploring and understanding the interconnectedness of everything.

Have something specific in mind? Carlie loves to creatively collaborate to bring a vision to life for a space. Often working with design firms, art consultants and private individuals to create custom pieces designed for unique spaces. From wineries and hotels to private homes, a simple conversation begins the process of creating something lasting and impactful.
Carlie is well versed in ceramics, as well as various other mediums, including crystals, textiles and wood.
Whether it’s a large-scale installation or a simple wall piece, the process of figuring out the best solution for a space and budget is something Carlie thrives on. Over the years she has worked with experienced custom fabricators to design various specialized armatures.
