Incandescence

by Carly Milligan

There’s something inherently precious about tiny objects. It was a fun challenge to paint a full figure at the minuscule size of a typical business card. The title on this one really says it all, from the transparent oil glazes of the painting to the customized back panel this tiny painting floats above, I wanted to explore light, color, and making things that only reflect light feel like they are emitting it with this one.

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.
