 Carrie Anne Baade |

The edgy and intellectual paintings of Carrie Ann Baade are quickly gaining recognition across the United States and abroad. Dubbed “Imaginative Realism,” these paintings are cut from the pages of art history and layered into a trompe l'oeil surrealism. Often traveling around the globe in search of forgotten paintings to quote and interpret, her works manifest into an entirely original vision rich with humor. Carrie is a PROFESSOR of painting and drawing at FSU in Tallahassee. You can read her myartspace interview by clicking here . |
