Throughout her twenty-year career, Carrie has exhibited her work nationally through numerous well-respected fine art galleries achieving both private and corporate collector recognition. Carrie is active and generous with both her donations and time serving numerous charitable organizations. In 1996, she established Significance of Self, a creative residency program designed to integrate charity performance and promote young people in their expression through art. She is an artist who expands the boundaries of traditional Western art by presenting Western subjects in new ways. Fell’s compilation of works depicts the traditional icons of the Western landscape with a thoroughly modern twist using vibrant colors and fluid forms. This is the New West – the west as a “state of mind” – a place of change with an attitude of boldness. Carrie’s artwork is free spirited – her paintings and designs offer a sophisticated, yet fresh, style that appeals to the maverick within each of us. Using the high country as a source of inspiration, Carrie’s art does not attempt to portray a western lifestyle but rather an illusion. Her evolving artistic expressions are both prolific and progressive whether it be her quintessential subjects, the more modern social scenes or the contemporary abstract works. Carrie’s multi-faceted approach to her artwork includes fluid techniques in mixed media on both paper and canvas and has expanded to include a new collection of bronze sculptures. Her dramatic use of color and line set Carrie Fell apart from conventional Western art style. With deft drawing and bold color, she imparts life and feeling to her frequently faceless subjects, from longhorns to cowgirls. A native of Denver, Carrie Fell began her professional career as an artist in 1985. She studied interior design in college; remnants of the drawing style of design work are intrinsic to her art. Her use of color, line and negative space also reflect her early training.
