Carrie Dietz Brown is a watercolor painter from Los Angeles.
In 2013, she received a Bachelor of Arts with a focus in Drawing and Painting from CSU Long Beach.
Between 2017–2022 Carrie was represented by Suite6 Gallery in Los Angeles. While there, she was in two solo shows and many group exhibits, and designed and taught a watercolor workshop series.
Her work has been shown in group and solo shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Seattle. Carrie currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
Carrie’s use of color is influenced by the washed-out colors of her hometown and its surrounding wildlife. Her large-scale watercolor paintings often circle the themes of practice, cultivation, and home as a sanctuary. Her work exalts the quiet, and slants the familiar.
Since losing her father in 2023, her newer work looks for what Dylan Thomas called “the force that through the green fuse drives the flower,” and reaches towards the reconciliation of joy and misery.
