Carrie Marill – The Living World in Full Color

Carrie Marill is an artist who lives in Arizona. Her art is nothing short of fantastic. The colors, the statement – they are very inspiring. I am in love with these three pieces; Be Realistic Demand the Impossible, A Dream World Glimmers in the Background of the Soul and The Tortoise. Wouldn’t they be fantastic in a family room, nursery or a child’s bedroom?

In Carries own words:

“Growing up with a strong relationship to the natural environment I developed a heightened awareness of the conflict between human systems and ecological systems. I have been inspired by the interconnectedness of matter, especially as it is manifested in ecological systems; specifically, systems impacted by humans in non-sustainable ways. At the heart of my work is the continuous human struggle to reconcile the tensions between the natural world, art, science and lived experience. My artwork over the past five years has explored these tensions through paintings and drawings that contrast the kineticism of the natural “living” world with the static “inanimate” depictions of natural history illustration.”
