Care is a working mixed media artist and art educator in Madison, WI. They received their BFA from Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2022. In Care's own practice, they focus on themes of vulnerability, guided by their intuition, curiosity, and childhood wonder. Care's concepts are influenced by their experiences, emotions, desires and desperations.
what else is criminal activity but the pursuit of alternatives
my rebellion is art
my progress is performance
art is a character of its own and still a part of my identity
completely open to failure
I am for the art of bread wet by rain
the leap of faith is space of wonder
my art is harmoniously beautiful and grotesque
I seek to provoke, annoy, bother, irritate and amuse
there is no idea. there is only beginning
