Art and Works of Carm Andrews
I am an American artist from the East Coast, and I have always lived near the ocean, or the trees, and fields of farmland and forest.
I have created art since I was a child and even began my college studies as an art student; however, I eventually digressed from a path in art and focused on other studies in business and communications.
The diversity of demographics in age, motivation, and class among my peers fueled my curiosity and craving for deeper knowledge. My art took a place happily in the corner of my life, but was no longer the driving force behind my education. I began self-interest studies and research in human sexuality, sex in American culture, and the psychology between the sexes. Previously, these interests would sometimes calmly expose themselves in my art. While studying, I became more fearless in propagating the idea of what is viewed as sensual, or tastefully erotic, versus what was a natural state of being for women. I love to probe adult conversations on what society has taught us to be taboo.
In later years, life hit a significant rough patch, and much of what made me feel fearless and open to the world turned to insecurity through cynicism. Beauty felt forbidden, not appreciated fully, or able to live freely without ownership. I was disconnected, and in my art, I found freedom again. I used it to heal and to grow. I found that I was happiest in my kookiest, creative late nights and long days than when I was trying to persuade or build relationships through business networking and media marketing. I found yoga, and it helped me re-integrate the pieces of spirit that had become veiled and scattered in my discomfort. My art was always a part of that spirit, a purposeful creation to unveil an emotion or connection meant for our growth. It was never meant to stay in the corner of life, unexposed to sharing the beauty inspiring it. My art is inspired by spirit, the animalism in us all, the beauty in our nature and what connects us to it, and joy because unconventional happiness is simply unlimited in what you can attain.
I am Carm, an artist, yogi, mother, teacher, nurturer, and creator. I dance, laugh, play, eat, and soak in the sunrays and moonbeams, raindrops, and cool breezes. Always with soulful intention.
