Carrie Ann Baade’s autobiographical oil paintings are allegorical narratives inspired by spirit, literature, and art history.   These parables combine fragments of Renaissance and Baroque religious paintings, resulting in surreal landscapes inhabited by exotic flora, fauna, and figures.

She has been awarded the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs Individual Artist Fellowship, the Delaware Division of the Arts Fellowship for Established Artist, and nominated for the prestigious United States Artist Fellowship.  Baade’s work has been exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and abroad, including a recent solo exhibitions include: The Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville Florida, the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, the Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia, Billy Shire Fine Arts in Los Angeles, and the Ningbo Art Museum in China.

Carrie Ann Baade was born in Natchitoches, Louisiana. She received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and her masters from University of Delaware. She currently lives and works in Tallahassee where she is an Assistant Professor of Painting and Drawing at Florida State University accompanied by her tabby, polydactyl cat.
