About me

Hi, I’m Carley, a mixed media artist specialising in printmaking from the South West of Western Australia, currently living and creating in Fremantle.

I create travel-inspired lino prints. My creations showcase eccentric, imaginative characters, each with its own identity and story. I love to mix my own colours, create my own repeat patterns and bring in collage elements to make my designs pop!

I capture my initial concept ideas in my travel journal and refine them when I get home to my studio (currently Stackwood Studios). I then transfer my design onto a lino plate and turn them into stamps of all shapes and sizes.

My latest collection is inspired by a recent trip to Mexico.

Art as Release

Art, for me, is a cathartic outlet. Through my art, I can identify and express whatever needs to come up. I have birthed new aspects of my personality, processed negative emotions and been able to locate stuck emotions. I also have a lot of fun creating and if I wasn’t able to express myself in this way I would be very grump indeed.
