Carrie Ann Baade
Painter, Collage Artist, and Art Educator
| |
Painter, collage artist, and art educator Carrie Ann Baade slips into the sublime scenes of her imagination in her latest solo exhibition, “The Surreal Imagining,” running through Dec. 7 at TCC Fine Art Gallery.
The artist, eyes closed, takes a moment to breathe. They inhale, exhale, and find stillness. Suddenly a garden grows in their mind, filled with luscious leaves entangled amongst thick vines that bloom seductive scents within its flowers. A tiny seed of possibility appears in their hand. The seed is planted, and what they envision will grow there.
