MICHAEL CRAIG CARRIER

"Great use of neon. I like that you are integrating it as an element, in something bigger, rather than a stand alone entity. Seeing it inserted into the snake skins makes me think about the nature/technology duality. At the same time, the neon could be interpreted as a metaphor for life and energy, as if you are giving new life to something that has died"

 "Your commitment to bringing art and the environment together in creative and innovative ways is impressive. We need more artists of your caliber in America"

ROBB HANKINS
CEO ARTS IN STARK

"Michael's powerful mixed media works make ironic comment on a swirl of ecological concerns. His art has an interesting high/low tech appeal, is quite whimsical, yet serious and definitely thought provoking"

"Mr Carrier's work is skillfully accomplished, at once alluring and appalling, yet fits into a larger statement of historical analysis, soon to be fully explored"

"When the rubber hits the road, you can bet Michael Carrier's foot is on art the pedal. He is the maestro of organically enthusiastic assemblage artwork, Viva Carrier"

"He breathes new life into objects once used and tempted to be destroyed. I like to think of his sculptures as 3D PHOENIX PAINTING"
