I am Carrie Alderfer, owner of ChromAddict Studio. I am both an artist and a designer, and I’ve been making art for as long as I can remember. Other kids had lemonade stands. I drew pictures and sat at the curb trying to sell my art. I work mainly in colored pencils or acrylics, and I like to explore the many facets and meanings of color. In addition to creating fine art, I have worked as a graphic designer and web developer for 20 years, and I’ve accumulated over 30 American Advertising Awards. Since opening my studio at Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment in 2014, I’ve added art classes to my list of services. I teach classes for both children and adults. No matter what the medium, I’ve learned to create simply and color boldly.
