Mary Anne Carter is a Seattle-based artist, curator, and creative consultant. Born with a prominent port-wine stain birthmark on her left cheek, she has a lifelong attraction to the odd, unusual, and other. She works with a wide range of materials to create environments and objects that transport the viewer to a brightly colored, boldly patterned utopia governed only by humor, self-expression, and irregularity.

Her work has appeared nationally in galleries and museums including AMcE Gallery, Geheim Gallery, J. Rinehart, The Bellevue Art Museum, Museum of Museums, The Factory, King Street Station, The Columbia Tower, NY Art Book Fair, Junior High LA, Get Nice Gallery, Mount Analogue, Vermillion, and more.

Since 2016, she has worked to elevate emerging artists through her gallery and creative studio Party Hat. She currently serves as the director of the Museum of Museums.
