About
Carly Richmond is a painter and multimedia artist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Currently pursuing her BFA in Painting along with a K–12 Teaching Certification at Grand Valley State University, she creates large-scale, figurative works known for their vivid color, expressive mark-making, and layered textures.
​
Richmond’s work blends abstraction and representation, often using drips, collage, and bold brushstrokes to evoke emotional depth. Her pieces address contemporary issues such as government injustice, gender roles, and societal expectations, using visual language to provoke dialogue and invite reflection. She believes in the transformative power of art—to challenge perspectives, spark new ideas, and foster meaningful human connection.
