Bunny Bowl by Carrie Wheeler

Carrie is an artist who was born in Fort Saskatchewan and moved to Edmonton 41 yeas ago. She enjoys living in the city because it offers her more opportunities as an artist to show and sell her work. Carrie started as a painter when she was 14 and later moved into ceramics as well. “I love the similarities of painting and sculpture. They both can create a 3D effect and are tactile.”

Carrie finds inspiration for her ceramic work through her imagination and dreams. “I get a lot of ideas from my dreams… I use my imagination as much as possible. It’s easier to use my imagination then work off a picture.” Carrie’s work is often very abstract and whimsical.
