Audrey Carter on Painting Nature, Colour & Climate Emotions in Contemporary Art
In this episode, I speak with painter Audrey Carter, whose observational art practice explores the natural world, saturated colour, and the emotional currents of climate anxiety. Currently undertaking an Honours degree, Audrey reflects on how childhood wonder, impressionist influences, and supportive parenting helped shape her creative worldview.
We explore how her vivid palette draws viewers in, creating a portal to look more closely at the environment — and how her paintings aim to inspire both connection and action. Audrey also shares how she documents her practice online, blending the roles of artist and content creator with authenticity and care.
Themes: painting and climate, saturated colour in art, nature as muse, creative ecology, documenting art practice, art and content creation, observational painting, childlike wonder, contemporary impressionism
