Birthplace is Carrie Ann Baade’s first solo exhibition at LeMieux Galleries.  Baade traced her ancestral connections to Louisiana and New Orleans as far back as  1690. Her lineage revealed stories of resilience, especially among women whose contributions are often overlooked. In this exhibition, Baade explores the history of the  American South via intimate narratives of identity and her own heritage rooted in colonial Louisiana.

As she reimagines these narratives, the focus shifts from the women at the crossroads of cultural intersections to colonial upheaval. Using a blend of collage and painting, each piece reflects evolving identities and the truth that all cultures are collages, continually blending and reshaping origins within the complex landscape of the  American South.  

Carrie Ann Bade was born in New Orleans, but spent most of her childhood in a small town in Colorado. After receiving her MFA from the University of Delaware, her style matured into one deeply affected by art history, contrasting contemporary and classical symbolism, and exploring the relationships of history, time, and mortality.  Baade lives and works in Tallahassee, Florida, where she works as a distinguished professor in the Department of Art at Florida State University.
