Carrie Reichardt is a multi-media artist and one of the UK’s leading, most authentic and anarchic art activists. She talks openly about her battles with mental illness and her challenging, shocking and destigmatizing related artworks; her work to bring creativity and dignity to Romanian orphans; and the astonishing story of her befriending inmates on death row in Texas, which led to her attending an execution in Huntsville and a subsequent fight against the inhumanity of capital punishment. Carrie believes that creativity is what gives us our humanity and our sanity; in art as a form of therapy to deal with emotions and life-changes; the importance of empathy; and in using provocative, boundary-pushing, irreverent and often politically incorrect expressions to engender meaningful reaction, response and change.
In 2017 she was appointed the first ever visual artist for Shakespeare’s Birthplace Trust; and has also spent the last 21 years mosaicing the outside of her three story home in Chiswick.
