A transplanted surfer from South Florida, Cara has always been enthralled in looking at the natural world. After completing her Post Baccalaureate Studies at Indiana University Bloomington and Master of Fine Arts concentrating in Ceramics at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, Cara moved to the rocky terrain of Colorado to recreate her observations in clay and multimedia.
Using video, sculpture, installation and assemblage allows her the opportunity to indulge in the essence of an object and her world to create a shared reality. She uses traditional and non-traditional media such as household objects, found items, and natural materials like sticks, sand, clay, tinfoil, metal, and glass express a way to enjoy and pay homage to nature, while speaking to the domestic realm.
