Carly Wright

Arts Director/Mentor

Carly Wright is a mixed media artist from Ballymena, Northern Ireland. Her artistic talents were identified and supported early in her childhood where she learned how to mastered her unique style.

Carly’s work has an abstract feel that’s tied beautifully with realism. Her art is often eclectic in nature and typically radiates colour, expression, and emotion.
In a relatively short period of time, she has quickly gained a reputation as a talented artist who paints from her heart.
Following the launch of her ‘Diamond in the rough’ exhibition which was supported by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council her artic flare reached new heights. She has since set up her own art studio and has embarked on a new journey sharing her knowledge and wisdom with our younger generation.
This is evidence in her most recent pieces of work the ‘Beacon Of Hope’ wall mural which was part of a community project to highlight mental health challenges, and the ‘We Are One’ project with Ballykeel primary school children which was also designed to promote positive mental health.

 

“I paint from my experience; the frustrations of life, sometimes a sense of hopelessness, but while there can be dark elements, there’s also a feeling of hope, of a light at the end of the tunnel. If my art can be a source of help or inspiration for just one other person, that would be amazing.”

Carly is passionate about making art accessible to all and aims to make this a mission through within new role as Arts Director.
“My dad is an artist, and he is my greatest inspiration. Our styles are completely different, but we both have a passion for creativity. When I’m creating something, I can be my full self and let my imagination run free in a world not like this on
