Bio/CV | ct.artz

Born in Dallas, Texas, Carrington is a multidisciplinary artist with a bachelors in fine arts.

Her work explores self-identity, familial bonds, the challenges of young adulthood, and the Black experience. Her art serves as her primary communication tool, offering audiences an intimate glimpse into her personal stories that are hidden within everyday experiences. She believe that every seemingly ordinary moment carries a profound story, and it is her desire to unearth and share these narratives. Her creative process is marked by its fluidity and spontaneity. She starts her projects with broad concepts, allowing her intuition and creative flow to guide her towards uncharted territories of creativity. Each subject serves as an extension of herself and as tools for self-discovery, mirroring the ever-changing nature of her own identity. She understand that not every piece will be readily understood by others, but in the end she would like to want to remain committed to the authenticity of her expression.
