Newfoundland #7. Carrie Marill.
Carrie Marill, the featured artist on our Spring 2011 cover, is not only a great painter, but also socially conscious. Many of her projects, ranging back through 2006, deal with themes of extinct or endangered species, as well as confronting the subject of animals which humans eat for food, and meditating on the way many of these animals are treated by factories. She has also created two series of work on the theme of string theory and the inter-connectivity of people.
Of course, she does more than just painting; found art and drawings also add to her colorful and provocative portfolio. Art exhibitions all over the country have included her work, both solo and in group exhibitions. She most recently appeared at Pulse Miami for the Jen Bekman Gallery and at Art Miami for the Lisa Sette Gallery.
Marill received her BA in Painting in 2002, from San Francisco State University, and in 2004, her MFA, also in Painting, from Cornell University. See more of her work at her website.
