Her work has been featured 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 & the Nova Scotia Public Archives in Canada; and at De Liceiras 18 in Portugal. She has participated in several public art festivals including Scotiabank Nuit Blanche, Artspin, Long Winter, the Art Gallery of Ontario's First Thursdays, Art Now at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition, Supercrawl, & Nocturne: Art at Night.

Carey trained as a furniture maker with Heidi Earnshaw Design (2012 - 2017). ​In 2015, she 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. In March 2020, One in Three was exhibited at the United Nations Headquarters in NYC with opening remarks by Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Amina J. Mohammad. Carey currently works in community health, partnering with local organizations to activate public space and increase access to food.

Carey Jernigan's most recent project, One in Three, explores the prevalence of sexual and intimate-partner violence.
