Bio
BFA, Carnegie Mellon University with a minor in Animation/VFX
Caro's practice moves between painting, quilting, and sculpture, operating through handicraft as both structure and subject. Woodworking, quilting, appliqué, and needlepoint function as framing devices and conceptual tools, asking how images shift when materials change and how domestic labor coexists with industry and isolation.
Raised in Texas, her work reflects a connection to the layered histories and contradictions of the Gulf Coast, where industrial sprawl meets the natural landscape. She returns to motifs of obsolete machines, simplified geometries, and birds that hover between symbol and body; Images that hold humor and failure in tension, and attempt to offer company within conditions of estrangement.
