Women Business

Carrie Weldon was raised in Bismarck, North Dakota. She left for California at 19 for several reasons — to forge a career as a model, to try and lose her North Dakota accent, and to thaw out.

She landed in Fresno, California where she owned and operated one of the best and most unique coffee shops in the area (KOFFEEHEADS). Carrie and her husband relocated to Prescott 13 years ago.

Carrie’s painting style is “concrete abstract” and she says she definitely is not afraid of color!

She started painting seriously five years ago. Before she knew it, she had over 200 paintings covering every inch of her garage studio and house. At that point her husband stepped in and insisted it was time for her to “clean house.” An opportunity to move into a space downtown Prescott presented itself and her paintings had a new home.

The gallery opened Fourth of July weekend 2022 as an art gallery but has since morphed into a boutique, as well. The Carrie Weldon Gallery and Boutique is a combination of everything Carrie loves and is good at: art, fashion, music and friendship.

Carrie says she loves helping people beautify their homes as well as themselves. She sees every person as a unique “canvas” and truly enjoys “bringing them to life.” As a recent customer commented, Carrie has a “sick eye” for fashion.

The gallery was recently named Best in Yavapai County by Prescott LIVING magazine.
