Mary Anne Carter is a Seattle-based artist, curator, and creative consultant.

She works in a wide range of materials to create vibrant immersive installations and functional art objects, including:

TEXTILES

GLASS

WOOD

PRINTMAKING

… AND BEYOND

Born with a prominent port-wine stain birthmark on her left cheek, Mary Anne Carter has a lifelong attraction to the odd, unusual, discarded, and other.

Her playful, boldly patterned environments and sculptures invite viewers to drop their guard and step into spaces where humor softens the edges of deeper conversations about self-expression, identity, and other social issues.

“At the core of my artistic and curatorial practice is a desire to erode barriers to viewing, creating, and experiencing art.”

— Mary Anne Carter
