Carrie (Bonnet) Tichenor is an artist based in Truckee, California, whose abstract mosaic work is a conscious exploration of the unexpected. Her work is defined by a philosophy of “letting go and trusting the random,” which was shaped during her artistic studies. She began her training at UC Santa Barbara, studying with Gary H. Brown and serving as a T.A. for his Creative Visual Journal class. She later undertook post-graduate study with Michael Markowitz at 23rd StreetStudio in San Francisco, where the focus was on process and expression freed of preconception.

Carrie is a published artist featured in Mosaic Art Today by Jeffery Snyder.
