They feature strange plants, animals, and figures. Carrie Ann Baade lives in Tallahassee, Florida, and teaches art at Florida State University.
Growing Up and Learning Art
Carrie Ann Baade was born in New Orleans, but she grew up mostly in a small town in Colorado. She loved art and went to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago to study painting. She finished her first art degree in 1997.
During her studies, she spent a year in Italy at the Florence Academy of Art. There, she learned the special techniques used by famous artists from long ago. Later, in 2003, she earned her master's degree from the University of Delaware.
Her Unique Art Style
Carrie Ann Baade is known for her incredible imagination. Her art is part of a modern style called Pop Surrealism. This style mixes dream-like images with ideas from pop culture.
She often takes small parts from old, famous paintings. Then, she puts them together in new ways. This creates a surreal, or dream-like, world. Her paintings often share her own thoughts and feelings. They combine old art with a fresh, modern view.

Carrie Ann Baade has received many important awards for her art. These include fellowships from the Florida Division of Cultural Affairs and the Delaware Division of the Arts. She was also nominated for the United States Artists Fellowship.
Her paintings have been shown in many art exhibitions. Some of these include:

- "Solar Midnight" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville (this was a solo show, meaning only her art was featured)

In 2007, Carrie Ann Baade was one of the first American artists to show her work at the Ningbo Museum in China. This is one of the largest museums in that country. The museum director even called them "the Mayflowers" because they were like cultural ambassadors.
Her art has also been shown in many other countries. These include Austria, Germany, France, Poland, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and the Philippines. Her paintings have been seen in museums and cultural centers around the world.
In 2011, Baade helped organize a big art show called "Cute and Creepy." It was held at the Museum of Fine Art at Florida State University. This show featured many artists who work in the pop surrealism style.
