Sunset                 36x48"                    thrown and splatted paint on canvas                     2015


This piece has been so many incarnations, from a beach grass, through numerous sky and land positionings, to a forest, a lone tree and finally back to a sunset. Each time the painting grows thick with paint, each time, may be the last before it loses integrity, or becomes too thick for my throws to land as intended or it will ultimately become dull, unable to  bounce light for viewing.It's always a gamble I will lose a painting if I continue to throw. But I was depressed over losing the sunset, which was my intention in the first place. So I determined to try one last time. Looking closely one will find bits and pieces of all the incarnations of this painting imbedded within its world.

          Tree's Triptych (all three are on exhibit) 8x4.5' solid core doors with hardware

The doors are my original works in in the gestural style, thrown and splattered paint. I was attempting to discover what Pollock was trying to express using this technique. I still have no idea Pollock's reasoning but after spending a solid week working on these doors from sun up to sun set, I was hooked. What appeared simple, was terribly difficult; many times these were 'hosed' down because they weren't 'right', though I couldn't possible express what that meant. I believe it is a subconscious view that determines 'right'.  The Doors are the first paintings of this style, today I am more of an impressionist than an abstructionist but I remember to come back to these when I find I am working far too close to realism. It is the essence, not the image, I try to capture. These doors are a perfect example of that.

Summer Woods       36x24"          thrown and splattered paint on canvas             2015

" Carey is working in a conceptual space beyond realism, where paint and gesture cannot possibly, theoretically, replicate every variation nature can. It is the gap between the idea of her application of splatter to nature and the endless possibilities of nature that gives to Carey’s work the friction that keeps it sharp and purposeful, her strokes directed, tense, meaningful. It is a kind of impressionism, but educated by a new generation’s fuller appreciation of fractal complexity in branching and all the chaos of natural form." Robert Mahoney NY art critic
