Carrie Fell is an artist who expands the boundaries of traditional Western art by presenting Western subjects in new ways.



Through her work Carrie tells the familiar stories of the West, stories of cowboys and cowgirls and horses and the infinite sky. Her dramatic use of color and line set Carrie Fell apart from conventional Western art style. With deft drawing and bold color, she imparts life and feeling to her frequently faceless subjects, from longhorns to cowgirls. A native of Denver, Carrie Fell began her professional career as an artist in 1985. She studied interior design in college; remnants of the drawing style of design work are intrinsic to her art.
