Alice Carpenter's inky, rich monotypes have a visual depth and pictorial strength that belie size. Her unique technique and handling of her media evoke an invitation into scenes that combine memory and presence. The tactile physical presence of her monotypes have affinities with some of the early drawings and etchings of the contemporary master Brice Marden. 

Along with showing in many regional venues, recent national recognition include selection into the Monotype Guild of New England National Juried Exhibition (2018), the Connecticut Women Artists 2023 National Open Juried Show, and the Butler Institute of American Art Midyear National Juried Exhibition: 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021, (where Carpenter received the "Director's Award") and 2023.

She was recently honored to have two monotypes selected and published in the Fall 2023 online Decoy issue of The Harvard Advocate.

Carpenter is a member of Connecticut Women Artist, a premier art organization that has supported professional women artists since 1929.
