Artist Statement
My work explores the intersection of mastery and transformation. I am drawn to subjects that embody exceptional craftsmanship, timeless beauty, and the pursuit of excellence through transformation; whether I am creating resin geodes that reveal beauty forged under pressure, automobiles that represent the pinnacle of engineering as well as freedom and possibility, thoughtfully curated culinary experiences that transform ingredients into art and celebrate family and connection, or symbolic imagery that invites personal reflection. What unites them is not simply their mastery, but what they represent: vision, intention, and the courage to become something truly authentic through resilience, reinvention and creating our chosen life.
I create art for those who value not only beauty, but meaning- collectors who see their own journey reflected in the work and believe, as I do, that it is never too late to become who you were meant to be.
Commissions
I create larger pieces for use in commercial settings: hotels, multi-family, retail, restaurants and hospitals. Please contact me at carleighgold@gmail.com for details or find me on Instagram @carleighgold.
My resin artwork draws inspiration from geodes, skillfully replicating the captivating play of colors and textures found in these natural wonders. Influenced by a geode’s mineral layers and crystalline structures, layers of resin combined with mica pigments and natural crystals achieve a spectrum of vibrant and iridescent tones. Embedded within the geodes are natural crystals and minerals promoting well being and peace. The result is a glossy, three-dimensional piece that captures the essence of geodes, inviting viewers to appreciate the beauty of geological formations through the medium of resin as well as advancing you in your own personal wellness journey.
I invite you to contact me to create your own special and personal piece to help bring clarity to a specific area of your life. Different crystals and minerals promote healing, love, strength, calm, hope, optimism, patience and many other emotions which can be utilized in your commissioned artwork.
