Carrie Dorski is a multifaceted artist and arts administrator based in Northeast Wisconsin, whose creative journey is deeply rooted in the rhythms of daily life. Her artistic process is guided by introspection, intuition, and a passion for creating tactile, visually compelling works. Drawing from a diverse range of disciplines, Carrie’s creations often manifest as two-dimensional ‘paintings’ that blend traditional and unconventional materials. Her artistic approach involves layering vintage fabrics and ephemera to build rich textures that invite viewers to explore both the physicality and narrative of her work.

For Carrie, art-making is not just a practice but a meditative labor of love—a driven (perhaps compulsive) endeavor to bring her visions to life through hands-on creation. Her work is imbued with a sense of history and emotion, reflecting her dedication to crafting pieces that resonate on deeply personal and universal levels.

Carrie earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Museum Studies and Arts Management from the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay. While she identifies foremost as an artist, much of her professional time is devoted to supporting the arts community. In her role at the NWTC Artisan and Business Center, she works behind the scenes to empower fellow artists and foster a thriving creative environment in Northeast Wisconsin.

Through her dual roles as an artist and arts administrator, Carrie Dorski exemplifies a commitment to both personal expression and community enrichment. Her work continues to inspire and support the vibrant arts landscape in her region.
