About Me:

Hello, My name is Carley! I am a 22-year-old mixed media artist from Central Pennsylvania whose work is inspired by nature and dreamlike spaces. I am drawn to the emotional atmosphere of landscapes, organic forms, and the surreal feeling of memories and dreams. Through layered textures, expressive color palettes, and experimental processes, I create pieces that reflect personal reflection and imaginative escape.

As a mixed media artist, I enjoy experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques. I embrace versatility as an essential part of my artistic practice. Whether using paint, collage, sculpture, drawing, or found materials, I value the freedom that mixed media provides, allowing each idea to determine its own form. My creative process is rooted in curiosity and exploration, often blending techniques to create visually rich and emotionally resonant work.

I am currently studying Art Education at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, where I continue to grow both as an artist and future educator. My experiences in art education have strengthened my belief in the importance of creativity, experimentation, and self-expression, both inside and outside the classroom.
