Cary Caldwell grew up in a home surrounded by art. Her mother explored nearly every creative pursuit and consistently encouraged her children to experiment with new ideas alongside her. Her grandmother was a watercolor artist, and her aunt is a portrait artist, making creativity a constant presence throughout her upbringing.
For many years, Cary searched for her own artistic niche, which led her to explore a wide range of mediums. She has a deep love for quilting, but she needed an art form that could travel with her while her boys were busy playing sports. That practical need eventually led her back to drawing.
Today, Cary spends most of her creative time working with pen and ink. Last, but certainly not least, is her love for glass. Although it is not a medium she can take on the go, she is completely captivated by the intense, vibrant colors that glass provides.
