Carrie Barcomb's work evokes atmosphere, emotion, and the enduring power of myth, inviting reflection and offering a sense of peace.
"Fine artist Carrie Barcomb allows nature to serve as muse, gliding her brush strokes to capture landscapes lying in wait for interpretation. Raised alongside waterways near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, she grew up understanding the stillness of the landscape and the tranquility and stability it offered juxtaposed with the transitory footprint of humanity.
Rande Styger
"I was blown away by your gorgeous canvases - I was drawn to the glorious light you capture in your work - whether the soft subtle light at dawn, or the glorious golden hues instilled by the setting sun - all seem to me to infuse your work with a sense of life and peaceful beauty."
Carol Apicella
Carrie Barcomb is a Pennsylvania-based painter working in oil and handmade acrylic. Born near the Chesapeake Bay and trained at the Maryland Institute College of Art (BFA 1994), her intuitive landscapes explore transformation, femininity, and the unseen forces of nature. Her work is held in collections across the United States and Europe. A 2021 residency in Iceland sharpened her focus on the idea of impermanence and elemental landscape.
