Her work has been featured at the United Nations Headquarters in New York; at Craft Ontario, the Workers' Arts and Heritage Centre, Harbourfront Centre, Parkdale Film & Video Showcase, the Khyber Centre for the Arts, the Anna Leon Owens Gallery, Eyelevel Gallery and the Nova Scotia Public Archives in Canada; and at De Liceiras 18 in Portugal.

Carey trained as a furniture maker with Heidi Earnshaw Design (2012 - 2017). In 2015, Carey was the recipient of the RBC Emerging Artists Studio Setup Award. Her exhibition, Patternmaker, with Julia Campbell-Such, made Canadian Art's Must-Sees list in September 2016. The Hamilton Arts Council invited Carey to reflect on Patternmaker and her previous work for its Echo Artist Talks series (below). |
Carey Jernigan's current project, One in Three, explores the prevalence of sexual and intimate-partner violence.
