She talks openly about her battles with mental illness and her challenging, shocking and destigmatizing related artworks; her work to bring creativity and dignity to Romanian orphans; and the astonishing story of her befriending inmates on death row in Texas, which led to her attending an execution in Huntsville and a subsequent fight against the inhumanity of capital punishment. Carrie believes that creativity is what gives us our humanity and our sanity; in art as a form of therapy to deal with emotions and life-changes; the importance of empathy; and in using provocative, boundary-pushing, irreverent and often politically incorrect expressions to engender meaningful reaction, response and change. In 2017 she was appointed the first ever visual artist for Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust; and has also spent the last 21 years mosaicing the outside of her three story home in Chiswick.
