Vermont Artist - Bio

 

MFCarterI was born in Peoria, Illinois but have lived in 8 different states since then. I feel fortunate in this. I also feel very lucky to have traveled to a number of different countries and I am very blessed to now have friends all over the world.

My experiences have placed me in touch with more than one culture and I no longer truly feel as if I am solely a North American but more a citizen of the world. I encourage you to read about one of these experiences in my blog posts of The Candy Store. It is a prime example of how I have been changed by my experiences and I think also demonstrates how my experiences have had an effect on the world.

All of these experiences have influenced me and my perception of who I am. When I paint, I use strong colors and textures. I try to capture the emotion that I am feeling directly on the canvas or indirectly. I want to reach out to people’s hearts and provoke a response. I want to express my own confidence and create emotionally stimulating and thought provoking color journeys that not only signify my art but also reach out and touch the hearts of all people.
