The rocky shores and palette of ME are still my most favorite to interpret.The paintings are open to interpretation and I encourage the viewer to create their own journey​in finding personal significance in connection to the art.”​Established in 2023, Cara founded and is the director of Gonier Fine Art Monotype Workshops; a workshop program promoting and educating students on the techniques of cost effective, minimal equipment fine art printmaking.
