Carrie Ann Baade


Biography Carrie Ann Baade is an internationally exhibiting artist whose oil paintings are rich with allegorical meta-narratives. These painted parables combine remnants of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, creating surreal landscapes inhabited by exotic flora, fauna, and figures. As a contemporary painter, she returns to the relevant moments in art history in order to reclaim them, not merely as a quotation of a theme or an image, but also as the materiality of methods and techniques that ultimately create them. Baade was awarded the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs Individual Artist Fellowship in 2010, the Delaware Division of the Arts Fellowship for Established Artist in 2005, and was nominated for the prestigious United States Artist Fellowship in 2006 and the Joan Mitchell Grant in 2012. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries nationally and internationally, including recent solo exhibitions: the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art, the Rosenfeld Gallery in Philadelphia, Billy Shire Fine Arts in Los Angeles, the Ningbo Art Museum in China, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Jacksonville, Florida. She received her Master’s in Painting from the University of Delaware and her B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago that included one year of study at the Florence Academy of Art in Italy. The NY ARTS Magazine, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Austin Chronicle, the Albuquerque Journal, and Philadelphia Today have reviewed her work. She currently lives and works in Tallahassee where she is an Associate Professor of Painting and Drawing at Florida State University. Specialties: Materials and techniques of the old masters including egg tempera and indirect oil glazing. View more of her art at: www.carrieannbaade.com

Notes to an Emerging Artist Carrie Ann Baade: From the Autobiographical to the Universal Inspired by literature and art history, Carrie Ann Baade is an internationally renowned artist whose surreal oil paintings are rich with allegorical meta-narratives. Her art has been exhibited nationally internationally, and various books and journals prominently feature her works. She has traveled all over the world and currently lives in Tallahassee, Florida. What's been the most difficult part of being an artist? Alice Neel said "You should keep on painting no matter how difficult it is, because this is all part of experience, and the more experience you have, the better it is... unless it kills you, and then you know you have gone too far." I enjoy this process. I must. I made many sacrifices to do this work. I was willing to challenge my health, my sanity, my employment, my relationships, my comfort, my credit, and piss off my cat for the opportunity to make paintings. I don’t actually suggest anyone DO THIS. I hope you are smarter not harder but still paint…and have ALL OF IT. Everything. The choices I made seem worthwhile now because they brought me to where I am today: grateful and ready to paint more. Do you think every artist seeks notoriety? I cannot speak for anyone else; however, it is in my best interest to promote my work, so that I may survive. What have I got to lose but my anonymity!? Fame is an interesting thing. One can be famous and that may not mean that you have any money coming in from this recognition. One must be a savvy businessperson to make a living off their art, talent, their face, and/or their name. If the public knows who you are, it could help your career. However, it could result in infamy or ridicule. How difficult do you think that is? I mean, having a successful career? “In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.” - Patti Smith Go read Rilke if you want sympathy about how difficult this is. I wanted my time back from reading his Letters To A Young Poet. The meaningful thing I took from his book is: “Irony: Don't let yourself

Carrie Ann Baade


be controlled by it, especially during uncreative moments.” I interpreted this to mean: don’t let the irony get to you. Life has a way of laughing at your unhappiness when you are trying your hardest. the most ironic part of being an artist is that no one prepares you for how much self-confidence it takes to do what you love. You must believe in you. The advice I give my students, is this: If you can be happy making a living doing something else...you better go do that. If you have no choice, if this is what you are, then god love you, but you can do it! (However, just to be safe, I tell them they better have another skill to fall back on.... mine was being artist's model and painting houses.) Being self-employed is a challenge, you get to be your own boss, but you have only yourself to blame if you fail. “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm” – Abraham Lincoln Life may be difficult, so it’s a good idea to try to make a living doing something you have pride in and enthusiasm for. How you interpret life--whether it is “good” or “bad,” is all about how you handle the events…the problems, but it helps if you learn how to recover gracefully and bounce instead of a CRASH, when stress happens. Then you will be able to keep participating. Remember to BREATHE. It’s free and we forget how much it reduces stress. Breathing gets you naturally high if done deeply enough. It’s especially good to practice when doing something impossible. Every project has its share of mishaps and frustrations; how do you work through them? Identifying with being an 'expert' is a lofty and impractical place, so I find it healthy to stay in a beginners mind by regularly learning something new and fun. Recently, I learned to do handstands, and now its hula hooping. It’s keeping a sense of play that prevents one from taking it all so seriously. Play is the fertile field where invention and wonder evolve…not the over planted soil of achievement “The unending paradox is that we do learn through pain.”― Madeleine L'Engle

Carrie Ann Baade


Is being a professor helpful? Pragmatically, I have chosen to buy into higher education and be a professor; this is not the only path but it’s one I can do. It only took me six years of college, four years of adjuncting, two years of interviewing to get this job, and going all the way to Ningbo, China to prove I really wanted this job…so this is not a fast track to easy living. I teach in addition to having a career as an artist, which requires some hefty time management, because I treat it like two full time jobs. This does provide me some security against the lean times. I hope this means I have picked the perfect solution that I may just continue painting. No one else is supporting me, so I must cover myself. Historically, artists have ended their life in poverty, for example, Louis Sullivan and Gwen Johns. I want to live this life guided by my own vision, while also growing old with dignity and the ability to pay for my care. I prefer to be self-sufficient. This is another reason I have chosen to teach; yet there are no guarantees.

However, in terms of quality of life and depth of experience, teaching is AMAZING. I have learned more teaching than I ever have as a student. I enjoy the role of guide, opening minds…erasing my own biases, so I may dilate apertures and share art’s amazing history, and the massive contemporary art world's blooming beyond all limitations. There are more great artists creating right now than have ever lived in this planet's past. Now is without a doubt the best time to be an artist and the most exciting to participate. Teaching grounds me, it keeps me sane. I would have lost my mind in studio…all alone and what kind of life is it just to be in one room…doing one thing. I do a lot of living through this spring of youth that bubbles up around me; my students are my fountains of youth. “I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.” - Lao Tzu What does it take to make it as an artist? Integrity always helps: “Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

Carrie Ann Baade


Understanding that this is not a conventional “job” helps. Here you are trying your ass off to contribute to culture; expressing your soul through sweat, blood, and tears to make something that no one needs, no one wants...that may go into a landfill! Very few, artists have made reliable income on their sales with market so fickle and delicate --if it's even salable at all. Limit rhetorical questions: As you sit in your studio and FREAK OUT looking at your white canvas asking yourself questions like, "what am I doing?" and "why am I doing this?" Your parents asking, yes, "Why ARE you doing this?" Questions can feed the fear. Doubt is useless; it is not productive. Just paint. Just create. I say don't ask questions. I would like to quote the movie Weird Science here: "Why are you messing with the fantasy? We know about the reality. Don't ruin the fantasy, okay?" What question? The answer to painting is PAINTING! If you chose to be an artist, if it’s what makes you happy, then love your cage. Those choices you make may protect and shelter but they also limit your mobility. You build and create your circumstances. Now is the best time to recognize that you are the architect of your own destiny! Make bold, powerful intentions, and write them down. It’s time to change the way we think and speak about our dreams. A working definition for intention is: “to have in mind a purpose or plan, to direct the mind, to aim.” Lacking intention, we sometimes stray without meaning or path. But with it, all the forces of the universe can align to make even the most impossible, possible. My intention is to transform the conversation around dreams from fear and doubt, to hope and possibility, followed by action and results. By setting an intention, you make it clear to yourself and others, just what you plan to do. Set an intention redefining what it means to be serious about your dreams. Now, step two to infinity is living the ways and methods that will make that dream a reality. It’s time to put one foot in front of the other. Make friends with failure: You will make mistakes, but you will learn from these. I have a binder three inches thick with rejection letters…I like collecting them. It took courage and intentional naivety to make my way in the world...I didn’t “know better.” I am only just coming into my wisdom. I think I am ready for this challenge. I know a lot of people who were too smart to pursue their dreams to be an artist.

Carrie Ann Baade


One must have chutzpah, and by this I mean to have what it takes to get it done. Not asking if -- only how! This is the momentum to create despite the odds. Do not tell me the statistics. We know the statistics. Don’t remind me of all the people who told me that they wanted to be an artist... or how they went to art school and never used their degree...or how many had a solo show then quit...or how many quit to have children...or how many were lost to substance abuse...or how many just collected art supplies and did nothing with them. In the end, this is not a competition, participating within this community of artists that I know and have met is my utmost joy. Being an artist is an extraordinary privilege. "Blitz not Ballet" is a credo from my friend Alix Sloan; I interpreted her quote as: Your art career must be a strategic campaign; a war against the odds. There was a time when I thought I could not apply to things because I could not afford the postage AND food. At some point you have to realize, you are the best investment you can invest in. You must spend the time, the money, and have the faith to believe that this matters. Apply to far more things than you will get. Make failure part of the process. One day, success will kick in and you will have to start turning things down and then the game shifts from being really great at being an unsuccessful artist, to how to be a successful artist. That is an entirely new game! New rules and the world is changing constantly. DO NOT GIVE UP. What would you say to those artists that many times feel like giving up, due to all difficulties? Learn your history. Read biographies. All extraordinary people came from difficulty and surmounted impossible odds. For this reason, I do not allow myself to make excuses; I must paint. However, I have experienced some circumstances that made it impossible for me to do my work for a bit. I painted, but I could not perform like I had in the past. I made the most of it. I curated Cute and Creepy; one of the first educational institution shows of it's kind, functioning as an art facilitator. I took over a non-profit art center that was going to close in the recession. I brought Swoon, Callie Curry, to FSU and helped manage a project to renew our homeless shelter. I networked and took workshops with fellow artists, like Alex Grey and Amanda Sage. I fostered community, writing articles for fellow artists like Chet Zar, in his new book. I learned a lot and healed and healed. I learned that if I am an art facilitator, it is even more challenging to be a maker. I do not allow myself to make excuses; I must paint.

Carrie Ann Baade


Can you think of a specific moment in your career that made all the difference? It all matters. I believe there are no accidents. I am grateful for the galleries, the artists, the curators that have included me in their shows and published books to promote narrative art, and the people who have nominated me for awards. I am grateful for not having more money when I had less sense. I am grateful the world has always provided me with everything I needed, though not necessarily what I wanted. If you are really paying attention, all of life is just so magnificently perfect, even in the moments where you aren't aware. All the rejection, all the teachers…good and bad - all that doubt and confidence make dynamic. It’s texture. If it were easy, it would be far less meaningful. What is your definition of Art? Going to an art school I learned that art is anything you give this intention to. My understanding today is that “art” is a living term and its definition reflects the individual and collective consciousness of a people thus reflecting the emotional/intellectual depth and resources of the individual and a society specific to their time and place. However, as an educator, I employ the philosophy of Joseph Beuys that “everyman is an artist.” There is always room for each individual to employ a greater level of focus and intent in their day-to-day lives. To create art for oneself and/or to create art, which is a voice of, generations…we can each build more meaning and more intent in way we choose to employ ourselves in this world. What’s important for this jump in consciousness? Start with the assumption everything and every action has the capacity to be art. What’s your best advice for accomplishing one’s dreams? I have always been someone who writes down lists of their goals and what they would like to or be. This is the first step. I have done nearly everything I have ever put my mind to and I was so good at that …I have been learning to be much smarter about what I want. One of my favorite intentions was to start meeting the greatest living artists of this time, not just reading books about them. This has made an enormous transformation in my life. P.S. don’t forget…keep it positive…the universe will give you what you ask for and it does not understand negatives. So if you say, I don’t want to write any more letters of recommendation that is exactly what you will get.

Carrie Ann Baade


What is your favorite painting? “Starry Night” by Van Gogh nearly knocked me down and I had tears in my eyes. One out of every ten of my students says this painting is their favorite, but I don’t even know if they have seen it in person. After a lifetime of doubt and toil, this painting represents the one-day of painting when everything was in perfect harmony. It is the glorious manifestation of one man’s personal vision finally realized. So shortly after this creation was made, he took his own life. Be gentle to yourself. “I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. ― Maya Angelou What’s your long-term plan as an artist? To enjoy the ride.

Books (works featured) Carrie Ann Baade 2005-2008 This self-generated book highlights three years of my career. It was essential to my application and subsequent award of the Florida State Division of Cultural Affairs Individual Artist Fellowship (2009 to 2010). This was essential in the securing of several gallery shows including representation by Pop Gallery in Santa Fe where I had constant gallery presence and exhibits from 2008 to 2011. Metamorphosis (2007) This was the first book to be published by the BeinArt International Surreal Art Collective was formed in 2006 to increase public awareness and appreciation of contemporary Surreal, Pop-Surrealist, Fantastic and Visionary Art. "Metamorphosis" presents the work of over 50 international artists including Alex Grey, Ernst Fuch, and H.R. Giger. Gothic Art Now (2008) This book covers the most compelling gothic art across various media, from paintings and illustrations to photography, sculpture, and digital art. Published by a division of Harper Collins, it was carried at every major bookstore in the United States and translated into seven languages, which made it available worldwide. Hunt & Gather: Discovering New Art (2010) Tina Ziegler, London Miles Gallery (UK) curator, showcases a contemporary view of international art through this hardbound book. Artists included are featured in galleries and media across the globe. This striking collection of surrealism, pop art, illustration, collage, graphic design and mixed media represents many of today's most boundary-pushing artists. Suggestivism (2011) Cal State University's cutting-edge museum arm, Grand Central Art Center, and Nathan Spoor present a comprehensive survey exhibition that explores and documents a select section of modern contemporary artists, which make up the vibrant core of creativity existing in the current art world. Suggestivism features more than fifty artists, including the likes of Carrie Ann Baade, Chris Mars, Brendan Monroe, Alex Gross, Mia, Audrey Kawasaki, Michael Page, MARS-1, Dalek, Jeff Soto, Ron

English, Elizabeth McGrath, Tara McPherson, Scott Musgrove, Greg Simkins, Skinner, and Robin Williams. The exhibition was accompanied by a handsome double-book box set that includes the Suggestivism exhibition, as well as a interviews with each artist compiled by writing duo Greg Escalante and Nathan Spoor. This widely publicized event was reviewed in several magazines and news journals and my work was featured prominently out of all those who participated. DRAW (2011) Curated by Eric Foss, this is a traveling exhibition that included over 450 artists. This exhibit has toured Austin, NYC, Tokyo, and Mexico City and produced a book. After four years of gallery exhibitions, DRAW had it’s museum debut at Museo de la Cuidad de Mexico, one of Mexico City's finest museums. To coincide with the exhibition, the museum published a book for worldwide distribution to contemporary museum bookstores around the world. Carlo McCormick, one of the most respected art writers and curators in the U.S. wrote the introductory essay for the book. Two of my pieces were featured in reviews for this show including the NY Magazine (2006) and the Austin Chronicle (2008). La Luz De Jesus 25: The Little Gallery That Could (2012) This is La Luz de Jesus Gallery's first survey, featuring three generations of the most important artists working today. Billy Shire, owner and director of La Luz de Jesus Gallery, has included 25 years of groundbreaking exhibitions within this exhibit and it’s companion book. The book, a companion to the show, chronicles the rich legacy of La Luz de Jesus and the thriving art movements, including Low Brow and Pop Surrealism, which his gallery historically helped launch. Involved in the La Luz de Jesus 25th Anniversary project is a who's-who of art, including Robert Williams, Joe Coleman, Mark Ryden, Gary Panter, Mark Mothersbaugh, Carrie Ann Baade, Marion Peck, Aaron Smith, Owen Smith, Frank Kozik, Don Ed Hardy, Jeff Soto, Dave Cooper, Daniel Martin Diaz, Laurie Lipton, Shag, Scott Musgrove, Bari Kumar, Tim Biskup, Judith Schaecter, Joe Sorren, Chris Mars, The Pizz, Coop, Jessica Joslin, Gary Baseman, Clayton Brothers. This is the single most important book ever published on this art genre from one of the most important galleries to emerge in the past 25 years.
