Artist Statement

For the last four years, I have been drawing every day to create an inventory of my thoughts and feelings. My work has become a visual diary that I can go back to, and also take the viewer on an imaginative journey. I am interested in nostalgia and memories, and how colors, subjects, shapes are the sources of stories. When I work with pens and wash on paper, I'm reminded that simple materials can be used to make meaningful artwork.

Artist Bio

Caroline Blum is an artist who makes drawings and paintings. She lives and works in Upper Manhattan. She grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and her artwork reflects the vibrant light and colors that were around her in the city and in the mountains near Yosemite. She's been influenced by the artist Ruth Asawa who told her besides making art to contribute to your community through your art. Caroline received her BA in Fine Art from UC Santa Cruz where visiting professor Irving Petlin encouraged her to move to NYC. She studied painting at the New York Studio School.
