Carolyn Carr is an artist who received her BFA from the Atlanta College of Art. Carr has had an extensive studio practice in Downtown Atlanta and along the Appalachian Mountains of Western North Carolina up to the Western Catskills of New York State. She is a painter, photographer, sculptor, and installation artist and has been active in the Atlanta arts community. Her work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and art fairs in the United States, Asia, and Central Europe, including Artists Space, New York, the Cue Foundation, New York, the High Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia, the National Women's Museum in Washington D.C., and the Zuckerman Museum of Art.

Early on Carr began experimenting with what she could find outside to make colors or marks. Later, she studied printmaking, photography, sculpture, and art history at Atlanta College of Art in Atlanta, Georgia.

Carolyn Carr's use of overlapping color-driven lines carve negative space from raw linen with natural pigments.

Georgia Red Clay is a reoccurring material Carr employs whether painted on canvas, screen-printed on paper, or carved to make free-standing tags, or figurative sculptures. Works are either left bare-fired ed clay or finished with a soft yet brightly colored. Some are hand-thrown, others hand-built. Carr also creates photographic studies of the vessels, encapsulating shapes and soft glazes in her formal studio setting.

Carr's image-based media ranges from making cameras, films, color-saturated photographs, silver gelatin and uses processes such as making unique prints from a Photo silkscreen, classic black-and-white darkroom prints, some over-painted collages, colorful chromogenic prints, or radiant images made with cosmetics.

As a multigenerational Southerner, Carolyn Carrs's familiar and cultural storytelling traditions are evident throughout her work. The title for one of Carr's fiction collections, Andalusia, is a group of intimately sized photographs that collectively prompt a narrative in the views mind. The richly printed silver gelatin prints include people and places. 'Kenny on Peachtree,' Her Feathers, 'Landing,' and 'Eric' are anchors in the story.

Carolyn Carr's series of unique photo silkscreened prints (made with black, ultramarine blue, and silver ink), are sometimes collaged with silver gelatin prints. The initial figurative image, of Aphrodite, was captured with Carrs' pin-hole camera, made from a European violin candy box.

An ongoing photographic project from 2011, Outside the Studio, bright-colored glossy photographs (editions of 3) show formal and playful arrangements of colorful crystallized rocks, luscious fruits, and fauna. What is pictured/documented was collected and photographed on site, outside, under the sun. Nearby, the recently fallen flowers from a Japanese Stewarta tree prompted the series, Ground Flowers.

Today, Carr is working on new works on paper, paintings, sculptures, and growing pigments in her garden.
