Known for her vibrant use of color and texture, Carrick’s art invites viewers to engage with themes of introspection, self-reflection, and emotional healing. Carrick’s distinctive style is characterized by bold color palettes and layered textures created with oil paints and mixed media, often centers on femininity and the female form. Through her pieces, Carrick fosters a contemplative space for dialogue between humanity and the natural world, offering insights into the profound connections between the two.

In Carrick's own words:

“For me, the process of creating and using my hands generates a sense of healing and solitude. Painting and color is my therapy, my escape during darker times. I see my works as little windows of sunshine, nostalgia, and inspiration.”
