Hi there! My name is CARO
I’m a creative based in Pittsburgh, PA. I specialize in introspective portraiture, inspired by my journey through mental and physical health. After being diagnosed with stage 2 thyroid cancer in 2018, I committed to creating and sharing my work. I use various mediums (primarily acrylic paint) to capture emotions and experiences in my life. I consider all of my pieces to be self-portraits, capturing my evolving sense of self. My focus lately has shifted to embrace a looser style that captures raw feelings.
My process is extremely cathartic for me and I aim to reflect my own vulnerabilities while opening up a dialogue for others regarding mental health. Sharing my personal stories through each piece has become a way for me to connect with others and contribute to a larger story.
