Carrie "Butterfly" Turner, is a mixed media artist who focuses on 3D collage, found object sculptures, repetitive designs, and vibrant colorful photographic portrait art. She strives to achieve her artistic vision through the use of found objects like bottle caps, trash, and treasures she finds on the sidewalk. "I see the world in snapshots. Everywhere I look I see a photograph. I think that's the true sign of an artist or an artist at heart. Most people have that inside of them... it just needs to be cultivated. I am always trying to push my art to be as creative as possible." Carrie started her art education at a young age, doing creative projects with her mother. Art was always her favorite subject in school as well. She became Art Club Secretary her Junior year in high school, then President of Art Club in her Senior year at John Glenn High School. She has taken numerous courses in art at the college level and received a Bachelor of Business Administration with a focus in marketing from Ohio University. Since college, Carrie has gone on to develop a healthy and fruitful resume of her achievements. Carrie works under the name "Butterfly", a name she received from supporters of her art, because of her love for butterflies. "We are always growing and changing, ugly to beautiful butterflies." She has taken the metamorphosis of the butterfly to heart in creating an astounding evolution of work. Her art is featured in private galleries in Ohio, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Australia. Recently, she has continued experimenting with found objects; recycling "trash" into art, 2D/3D collages, mixing traditional acrylic techniques with 3D collage, wax on canvas, item repetition to create a strong visual image, watercolor on Yupo synthetic paper, and portraiture. 2011 saw the inception of "Butterfly's Art" and the acquisition of her studio space in Zanesville at Tower Studios with her long-time friend and art soul mate, Natasha Oliver. In May of 2012, she and Natasha joined forces with 3 other local artists: Allen Deaver, Joleen Kinsel, and Joe Murphy to create The Artist Collective, a studio space where the three women continue to work, share art with the public, host monthly events on First Fridays - exhibiting the art and creations of local artists as well as their own work, and offer classes to the public. She is now a full-time artist, art instructor, curator, model, art catalyst/advocate/mentor/motivator, and now author.
