Carrie-Ann Stein is a London-based artist working across collage, print and constructed surfaces. Trained in print (MA, Royal College of Art, 2023) and fashion/knit (Central Saint Martins, 2013), she develops images through digital disassembly, relief processes and transfer printing embedded into painted wood panels. Her recent bodies of work re-imagine expressions of love, sorrow and celebration from art-historical scenes and the material memory of the North-West’s textile industry, exploring assembly, labour and repair. Parallel experience in set and costume design informs the spatial, performative logic of her compositions. 

Stein’s work has been selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in both 2025 and 2026, with her 2025 editioned work shown in Gallery II. In 2026, her work has also been exhibited with the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers, Jackson’s Art Prize and the Society of Women Artists. She works from a studio in South East London, producing unique panels and small numbers of hand-finished editions.
