Abstract Paintings
Megan Carty describes her abstract expressionist paintings as “visual poems that illustrate the human lived experience.” Our inner-beings are both beautiful AND flawed. In our lives’ journeys, we experience celebrations, achievements, love, and fun. In contrast, we also experience losses, injustices, abuses, and sadness. We are both given TO and taken FROM. Carty aims to document this dichotomy using specific colors, compositions with open space, and line. She pulls her mark making inspiration from plants and flowers, as they are the ultimate symbols of continuous death and renewal.

Turn Off Trouble, 8x10" Bluebird Abstract Painting
This beautiful bluebird is all of us; growing and evolving with each day. In fact, I’m using that bird as a symbol for our souls. In the painting, a swath of pink acts as a soothing cloud of happiness to sweep the troubles away. Could this be from meditation? Drugs? Alcohol? A nap? A sudden change of fortune? A mindset shift? I use color and composition and line to create a poetic “portrait” of the soul in a moment of time. I love to show a mood of celebration and power…the soul’s evolving wins and losses as lessons learned.
