The Artist

Hi! I'm Carly, a self-taught artist and designer born and raised in Duluth. With 12 years of professional painting experience and 7 years of teaching classes, I'm honored to share with you my knowledge of acrylic painting. When I'm not in the studio, you can find me playing outside with my kid, husband, and pup - camping - reading - or getting up to shenanigans with my friends.

Inspired by my exposure to the North, I'm forever grateful for this beautiful area in which I've chosen to plant my roots.

Let's get creative together!
