CARRIE L. WRIGHT

Wright left a career in corporate America two decades ago and has since been honing her skills working as a professional painter. Originally working out of her 100-square-foot home studio in the Old West End of Muncie, Indiana, in 2023 she moved her studio into Muncie’s downtown historic Murray Building. She is constantly exploring new ways of expressing ideas through her art. Being a student of multiple disciplines, Wright feels absolute freedom to combine ancient and completely innovative silk painting techniques. "I'm always thinking about light, how we experience light as color, and how different patterns of color evoke different emotional responses in all of us. Because silk reflects far more light than it absorbs, I find it to be the perfect medium for using color and pattern to communicate my thoughts and emotions."

Wright is known as Grammy to six and loves to travel with her husband Dan, a fellow artist and former syndicated cartoonist. She is currently working on a large scale immersive analogue installation, which you can learn more about here. She also serves on the board of Muncie’s Downtown Development Partnership and is the current president of Muncie Art Student’s League, a social group dedicated to discussing the arts and encouraging Ball State University graduating art students with cash awards.
