Bio
Raised in rural central Alabama, Caroline Erb is a 2012 graduate of the Alabama School of Fine Arts and earned her BFA from the University of West Florida in 2023. Utilizing drawing, ceramics, and fiber art, Erb explores her experience as an autistic and chronically ill artist, her spiritually, and the human relationship to nature.
Artist Statement
The single most-used term others have used to describe my work is "intimate" - nude bodies, even drawn, tend to elicit that reaction. The use of the body in my drawings - whole or fragmented - accompanied by imagery of flora, fauna, and everyday items, helps me convey intense emotions in my daily life. Even when using ceramics and fiber to create abstract sculptural forms, I am still referencing natural forms like shells and chrysalises that humans have emotionally connected to for millennia. My ultimate goal as an artist is conveying the visceral beauty in even difficult emotional states.
