Carly Semon is a Bay Area based visual artist investigating the laws of boundary, brink, and edge, through material manipulation and painting. She plays with physical space and time, offering a sense of choice in how we see what happens around us.

Her background in the physical sciences mixes with ideas of surrealism, memory, and the human form, to offer a unique attention on reality. She experiments with growing biomaterials at her home in Oakland and makes paintings in her studio at Hunter’s Point Shipyard in San Francisco, CA.
