Jodie Carey




Jodie Carey was born in 1981 in London, England. She lives there today and she even went to college in London and graduated with a BA and MA from two different schools. She has pieces in museums ranging from New York, to Amsterdam to England. A lot of her pieces require a lot of craftsmanship, a lot of focus and intense passion. She works very hard on every single piece that she works on, some might even say she works too hard. Every piece that she works in has an immense sense of beauty and unbelievable talent that goes along with it. She works for hours on end on all of her pieces, just so the viewer can really get a sense of what she was feeling and thinking at that exact moment. One of her most favorite elements, and her most well known, are her paper flowers. She often uses paper flowers to replicate real flowers, in which she uses in most of her pieces. She gets most of her colors that she uses from natural substances, instead of artificial ones. Carey has her own unique style, and you can look at a piece of art work and know right away if it is hers or not.
