Carly Haynes

Strange and Salty Fine Art

As a fine artist, I capture the delicate intersection of nature and memory. Working primarily with fine-tip ink pens, pan watercolors, and cold-press paper, I explore the dreamy and sometimes surreal qualities of the natural world. My pieces are an exploration of the fleeting moments I capture in my mind. A particular wildflower, a unique insect, or the intricate pattern of a leaf and the magic that you feel getting to experience the little beautiful moment. These mental snapshots become the foundation of my art. My work is a blend of realism and abstraction, a visual diary that translates personal memories into vibrant, symbolic forms.
