Juror: Katie Caron

Katie Caron is a Director and Department Chair for the Art & Design Center at Arapahoe Community College. She earned a BS and minor in Theater Arts at Boston University in 2000 and an MFA at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2011.

Caron has been intrigued by the mysterious shapes of life and the textures of the natural world. She creates elaborate biological forms, influenced by the violent and difficult processes of natural selection. Her work moves beyond pastoral depictions of nature, exploring deeper layers of form and function.

She collaborated with Martha Russo to create Apoptosis for the Denver Art Museum’s exhibition Overthrown: Clay Without Limits. Her national exhibitions include installations at Project Miami, Santa Fe Art Institute, University of Michigan, Bowling Green State University, University of Northern Colorado, Redline Art Space, Republic Plaza, Meow Wolf, and the University of Colorado Center for Bioethics.
