"In this body of work, referencing art history, one is astonished to consider the possibility that Carey has wrest the technique of Pollock back to visual purpose of Seurat, using splattered brushwork as Seurat made use of the dot to quest after capturing fully life and nature in a kind of abstract impressionist painting."  NY art critic, Robert Mahoney

Paintings in Public Settings

 The environment frequently determines the visual impact on the viewer. Where something is seen often determines the value and viability of art. Location, location, location.

Paintings in their Home Settings

I have always believed that the viewer is an integral part of the painting process. The environment also inserts itself on the paintings visual effect.  Though the painting remains the same, each visual effect is as individual as it's owners. Below are a few paintings in their home settings.

Family Trees



Family Trees are sets of painted canvas blocks that together make up an  impressionistic image of a tree. Singularly, the blocks stand alone as a part of the tree, each piece retaining the essence of the tree, while the whole gives the essence and image. Family Trees are exhibited as an entire tree, or separated into 'branches' of the tree (if separated, family member, friends, people with commonalities can each have a branch of the tree, while still being a part of the larger tree).
The original family tree was the 21 piece, Cherry Blossom montage. Rather than going to an individual family, Cherry Blossom montage resides with the worlds family. Individual canvas blocks now reside in numerous homes and institutions around the US and the world, including,  Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, California and Tokyo.


 single canvas block from the family tree, retains the essence of the tree.

"Carey is intent on bringing to canvas the fullness of the visual response of an artist to the complex facture of bushes, branches, grasses and other wild vegetation. Right away, exploring the scales of branching in terms of size and thickness all but with a chaos theoretician’s enthusiasm for the fractal infinities of nature, Carey has developed a wide, straight, branch-like stroke, then thin, fragile, wavering, leaf-like stroke, and every variation in between."  Robert Mahoney, NY art critic

"Carey's gestural impressionism results in views that remain in our thoughts long
after we have seen them, making her an artist of genuine accomplishment."  Johnathan Goodman , NY art critic
