Carie Lawrence is a painter living and working in Austin, Texas. Color is a primary inspiration in her work and is continually moved to explore and expand its possibilities.

Visual communication has always been a more natural and fluent language to me than verbal communication. Creativity is a vital part of my essential nature and I believe this to be true for each and every one of us. For over three decades I have worked in the realm art and design: from textiles and fashion design to floral design, jewelry and fine art. My artistic process has changed over the years and has evolved into a spiritual practice. A meditation where being fully present and consciously engaged in the creative process is primary. Acceptance and non-judgement helps to quiet the internal dialogue of the mind and opens the doorway to creativity and the unknown.
