About

Carrie Barcomb is a contemporary painter based in Southeastern Pennsylvania. She creates atmospheric landscape paintings in oil and acrylic, alongside nature-inspired studio goods for Midnight Birch Studio. Her paintings capture the rolling hills of the Brandywine Valley, historic farm scenes of the Mid-Atlantic, and the rugged coastlines and dramatic light of coastal Maine and Iceland. Her broader practice is rooted in a lifelong reverence for the natural world.

"Her paintings give the feeling of something alive and mystical."
— A.D.

"I was blown away by your gorgeous canvases – the glorious light you capture infuses your work with peaceful beauty."
— Carol Apicella

"Fine artist Carrie Barcomb allows nature to serve as muse, gliding her brush strokes to capture landscapes lying in wait for interpretation. Raised alongside waterways near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland, she grew up understanding the stillness of the landscape and the tranquility and stability it offered, juxtaposed with the transitory footprint of humanity.
— Rande Styger
