Caroline Owen received her Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Printmaking and Drawing from Clemson University in 2013, and her Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Purdue University in 2016. She currently works as a Visiting Lecturer at Purdue University as well as creating and exhibiting art whenever possible. Her work is greatly inspired by the connection that exists between our physical world and bodies and our emotional and mental histories and bodies that collectively make up our experiences. Though her background is in Printmaking, currently Owen is interested in interdisciplinary media, searching for new ways to combine traditional and modern modes of creation and create a new context for the historic ways of making.
She was greatly involved with Purdue University’s Steam Roller printing event in Spring of 2017, working with artist Jim Bailey as he visited Purdue’s campus through invitation and created a community- and university-wide event. A video of Owen working to print her own matrix can be found below. She also recently held a solo exhibition, Internal Landscape, at the TAF Museum in Lafayette, Indiana. Her work has been featured nationally and internationally in the Clemson National Print and Drawing Exhibition in Lee Gallery at Clemson University, the ARC Gallery in Chicago, IL, and El Minia University in Cario, Egypt.
