June Carey

This new body of work deals with an on-going subject of Carey's; love and its many forms.

Driven by a passion for drawing and mark making, Carey creates her work using pencil, pastel, brush or an etching tool. Discovering etching brought about a turning-point in her work and career. The process of etching set Carey's imagination free and allows her subconscious mind to dictate the marks she makes.

Widely travelled, Carey is greatly influenced by the many diverse cultures that she has encountered, these experiences not only feeding her imagination but becoming vital to the development of her work.
