“Not only can we create art- art creates us.” -Maria Eskenasy

Hi there! My name is Talena Carter and I so appreciate you
taking the time to check out my pieces.
I hope you feel a sense of joy, peace, and playfulness in my art.
You can see more of my work on my Instagram @talenacartet 😀

I am a native of the PNW and reside in Elk, Wa.
with my very amazing and talented husband Vince
and our four awesome kids who make me laugh everyday.
I have been an artist my whole life
but truly reconnected with my artistic self ten years ago
when I discovered the fun and joy of watercolor and acrylic paint.
This led me on a journey of dabbling in mixed media where I truly felt myself and my art come alive!

My heart’s desire as an artist is to live a truly authentic and courageous life.
Art invites me to show up in the most vulnerable of ways
as each piece is a journey of self-discovery and GOD- DISCOVERY!
May we never stop exploring either one.
