Carrie finds inspiration for her art in anything that visually catches her eye. This includes the organic shapes found in nature and gardens, as well as in textiles, jewelry, floral bouquets and designs found in magazines. One of her favorite practices is to tear out imagery in magazines that she is attracted to and incorporate these elements in her floral art, even though they are not flowers. She also finds inspiration from living an artistic life that nurtures her mind, body and spirit in joyful ways.
