Carrie Ann Sterrett is a twenty - eight year - old native of Staunton, Virginia.  Throughout her life, she has been an avid student of many forms of art.  During her years spent at R.E. Lee High School, Carrie actively pursued the various arts - related electives in her course schedule. 

Since graduating in 1998, she has actively continued to study the visual arts on her own time.  Carrie has spent several years at both Bridgewater College and Mary Baldwin College, and has excelled in a great deal of arts - related coursework.

Miss Sterrett is the co-founder of Project Energia Buran, and, in fact, she is the individual whom came up with our unique name.

Energia is the name of a series of spacecraft developed over the previous three decades by the former U.S.S.R.  The Buran was a Soviet version of the American Space Shuttle, although it was much like a large robot in the sense that it was designed to perform without the need of an on-board human crew whatsoever. 

The word Energia means "Energy" in Russian, and the word Buran roughly translates to "(Snow) Storm".  Together they worked nicely to create a workable abbreviation for our collaboration: PEB!

An accomplished student of a variety of art - related classes at both Bridgewater College and Mary Baldwin College, it is Carrie's personal philosophy that artistic endeavors are mostly a self - taught process, especially in the fields of human figure drawing and photography.

Through her devotion towards the mission of PEB, and additionally upon an entirely personal level, Miss Sterrett hopes to elevate artistic awareness within Augusta County and the surrounding areas.
 
Inspiration for Miss Sterrett’s work comes from a great many sources including, but not limited to:

Should you desire a print of any existing work, or if you would wish to commission Miss Sterrett, an in - depth artist's explanation accompanies any such piece.  Carrie's primary mediums are acrylic on canvas, traditional watercolor, and ink on paper.

Beyond visual media, Miss Sterrett is skilled in in literature. While attending Robert E. Lee High School in Staunton, she and a friend self-published their own newsletter which covered issues relating to the cinema, popular music, and television reviews.  During the two years of issues, it was regarded more favorably by fellow students than was the school-funded student newspaper.
