H Carter

Hi! H Carter here — I am an Atlanta based multi-disciplinary artist. From poetry to zines, I have made some things ! As a self taught as a visual artist, I cannot express how important it is to liberate yourself from the idea that any project MUST be perfect! There is an artist in each of us, and I aim to encourage and enable that light to shine as brightly as possible.

My focus tends to land on mixed media bilateral drawings and eclectic sculptures. My musical journey led me through ten years of classical training in piano and four in voice.

I have participated in eleven art shows across Georgia and curated three independent galleries (via whatever ink !), sold a handful of pieces, organized makers markets, and have had the privilege of being apart of many musical expressions.

Currently working with three bands; a dream pop dark wave dance project that is my main outlet (hot god) and two improvisional jazz groups (Flea Circus & Isaac Bishop Ensemble). I manage one and make/ design all the merch. I spent three years in residency with the Atlanta Improvisional Orchestra learning from my neighbors— who happened to be professors of music at many of our fine institutions here in GA.

It is an honor and a privilege to be apart of LEAD ! I have been working with kids since I was one myself.

Other than that… I love my dog, collect records, and have a small dream of returning to college to pursue art restoration and piano composition. I work for an eccentric jeweler and collector of minerals, and have a background in michelin starred restaurants spanning over a decade.

Finally— truly I believe it’s OUR Dekalb Farmers Market. Can’t change my mind about it !
