SUMMARY:A Transfomative Life: From Medicine to Sculptor
DESCRIPTION:PROGRAM \nFrom missionary through medicine to multimedia artist\, learn how Carrie transformed herself. Overcoming obstacles early in life and during her education\, she persevered and became a physician’s assistant. To maintain her contact with the medical field while raising her children she worked from home as a medical transcriptionist. All the while her interest in art expanded. She took classes and taught herself many techniques. Today Carrie continues to expand her skills\, use different materials\, and explore new ways to express her artistic vision. You will view some examples of her work. \nSPEAKER \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nCarrie Olsen is a multi-media artist but primarily a sculptor. Working in ceramic\, metal\, cement\, wood\, and found materials\, as well as 2D materials. She has taken classes in the US and France. Olsen also studied forensic facial reconstruction. She explains\, “It really is an extension of the way I create portraits\, but the skull is already there for you. So half the work is already done.” \nHer medical training provided a knowledge of anatomy that lends itself to figurative work. These pieces can be found in collections in the US\, Middle East\, and Japan. This work includes portraits of Sir Walter Lindal of Lindal Cedar Homes\, Joe Bob Briggs of television notoriety\, and Kaoru Iwamoto\, the renowned Japanese Go master\, among others. Olsen often uses a technique of her own creation that fuses molten aluminum to clay figures\, an unpredictable process\, yielding unique texture and form. \nTo see more of Olsen’s work visit CkOlsenSculptor.com.\n\n\n\n
