Inner Fire

by Carly Milligan

I’m afraid I don’t have anything poetic to say about this lady. Though I dare say she speaks for herself. This piece was a chance for me to play with new materials by working on (and behind) Dura-lar with mixed media and then mounting onto a sturdy wood panel and finishing with oils. Looking at her now, perhaps she was also a chance for me to explore the inner strength we all have but sometimes obscure and hide.

Please note that I will be out of my studio this week and unable to ship her before July 18th. Thank you for your understanding!

Carly Milligan

Carly works to bring stories to life through her paintings, specializing in imaginative realism and figurative art. Growing up she was always a creative type and wanted to be everyone and everything, which explains why she’s always been drawn to stories. Nothing lets us explore other lives quite the way narratives do, whether they are told through paintings, books, games, animation, or photography. This love for narrative has drawn her to illustrating for fantasy and sci-fi novels. She has a chronic thirst to learn, explore, and experiment. Her academic background is a bachelor’s in zoology with a minor in chemistry. When not painting and experimenting in her studio you’ll probably find her in her garden or exploring the nearby mountains with her faithful and constant companion, Strider.
