About
Cara is a painter and sculptor who works with mediums–wood, cement, metals, clay, paper and fabric. Her artistic curriculum leans towards 2D/3D abstract works with each material assimilated to express her vocabulary of emotions.
She combines woodworking techniques, casting, collage, and assemblage. Cara's influences are sculptors Louise Nevelson (1899-1998), Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), Anne Truitt (1921-2004), painter Henri Matisse (1869-1954), and Ai Weiwei.
A fellow of the Berlin Art Institute, she took a gap year in 2024 to redesign her open studio.
