Wayne's World...Excellent, acrylic on recycled wood panel
I like the genuine love for art that comes across in Carly’s works. Each of her pieces presents the given subject matter in a way that is reverent without being overly serious. Carly has a great sense of experimentation when it comes to media, as well. While she mainly works with acrylic paint, occasionally incorporating aerosol paints, many of her works are painted on recycled drywall or wood planks as well as gallery boards and canvas. This lends each work a different texture and base color, adding to the sense of originality.
Carly's Entertainment paintings
Though Carly’s subjects encompass everything from Star Wars to hockey players, I really enjoy looking through the works in her miscellaneous gallery. This series features images of signs and building exteriors that take on a lovely, weathered appearance under Carly’s loose painting style.
