Baker Artist Portfolios

MC Carey (they/them) is a Baltimore -based printmaker and illustrator centering their art practice on linoleum block printing. A former gender-based violence prevention educator, MC is dedicated to creating artwork that touches the soul and reminds viewers of their power to engage in change. MC currently runs a print studio called Femme Prints where they create detailed and textured block prints exploring themes of liberation, radical love, and emotional healing through the context of natural storytelling. Through their print studio, MC creates hand-carved linoleum block prints largely inspired by their artistic root as a healing artist working with survivors of gender based violence. With a flare for storytelling through detailed and delicate block prints, MC often roots their creativity in natural symbolism, afro whimsy, body liberation, and radical joy and healing. MC creates texture-filled block prints that urge the viewer to explore what joy, peace, and liberation looks like in their own body and life while exploring themes that show up in their own life. MC is also moved to create expansive and textural block prints that help explore their relationship with their own relationship to self and family.
