Artist Statement:
My work reflects the
convergence of subconscious
data to stand out above every
forgotten moment. There are
moments in portrayal in
images, though many more that
exist fleeting and unrecorded.
My research of electronic web
and database media are a
symptom of my fascination with
such data as information,
communicated electronically,
and the implications of a
tesselation of moments and
data recorded in the mind and
massive data systems
everywhere. The curiosity
frontiers in revelations of
whether the phenomena of
natural and electronic
tessellation of event and
record, as implied by
tessellation patterns, extend
beyond the human mind- if
their self evidence of
patterns reveal aspects beyond
workable perception.
Each image is not an attempt
to sell a feeling, a personal
exploration, or ego food. It
is the proof of a moment of
reconciliation, between
subconscious patterns of
perception. It is the mowing
of a perceptual lawn, the
identification and removal of
splinters, a cataract bypass
of the limbs that heal. It is
one kind of process that
reflects the process of a
conscious search for truth and
joy. It is the first
evidence....

Artist Reviews:
"Artists often work within a
certain set of rules; these
rules or ideas help them
define their style. For
Edwards artist Caroline
Blaker, these rules don't
exist...Blaker's work is
tremendously varied; abstract
bursts of thick latex in
primary colors sit next to
realistic renderings of a
nighttime...

Hypothetically, I became an artist because I have always been one. I was lucky enough to have parents who understood this and fostered my creativity. |

| Your Personal Biography |
My existence in this world has always been motivated by need to do good for myself and others. I have confronted, battled and overcome many of the issues affecting women today: low self esteem, cancer at a young age, domestic violence, and finding meaning to life. I was raised in Connecticut, but have lived in St. Louis Missouri, Vail Colorado, Albuquerque New Mexico, and Paris France.
Art in some ways has always been an escape, but it is also the first skill I ever became determined to learn and thus opened the door for my intellect as a whole. I have been drawing and painting since I can remember and took my first oil instruction at 9 years. From 2001 to 2002 I spent a year in Paris, in a photography intensive, in a ceramics residency, and as a copyist in the Louvre Museum. I hold a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, where I studied Ceramics and Installation art, winning the Siroky Prize at graduation. I was awarded a residency with the Center of Creative Arts in the Urban Arts program for one and a half years, and have taken my career to the web in pursuing web development and programming. I have been a member of Art Dimensions in St. Louis, and helped found the Eagle Valley Artists Alliance (EVAA) in the Vail area. I am a breast cancer survivor as of 25 years of age- a truly revolutionary time of my life. It was around this time where I first took up my latex paint and did the first Concetta series. Though I have reflected, the healing process of cancer has yet to truly surface in my work, though I suspect it is not far off. I currently live with the love of my life in Albuquerque where I am looking for opportunities regionally and nationally to showcase my work and create new work, particularly installation and digitally based art. |
