BEHIND THE BRUSH
Simone Carey is a self-taught contemporary visual artist from Atlanta - now based in Chicago. Simone has deep southern and Afro-Caribbean roots, and she has always been drawn to the freedom of expression that art offers and the way it allows her to tell stories that matter.
Working primarily with acrylics and oil, Simone’s work is full of energy and movement. Her pieces are often centered around strong, powerful women, the beauty of Black features, and the bonds of family. Each piece is vibrant and emotionally charged—celebrating identity, resilience, and the joy found in everyday life.
She brings her whole self into her work—her cultural influences, her life experiences, and her creative spirit. Whether it’s the rhythm of the South, the boldness of the Caribbean, or the pulse of Chicago, her paintings reflect a beautiful mix of energy, heritage, and emotion.
