Carolyn Mara is a Houston born multimedia artist whose creative methodology uses videographical performance art, conceptual photography, and large-scale fine arts painting to explore ideas of personal struggle and pain as it relates to our collective human experience.

Beginning her artist journey with photography, Carolyn transitioned into performance art and painting as a means to express herself through movement. Her large-scale abstract paintings are created using a mop as her paint brush allowing her to work with large body movements and create work grounded in understanding force, restraint, intuition and spontaneity.

Carolyn received her Masters of Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts in NYC and her work is currently being exhibited in a joint show at the Pan American Art Projects gallery in Miami, FL and in a solo show at Studio 703 in Houston, TX. Her work has also been recognized by the Shorty Awards as well as the Siena International Photo Awards and she was an overall winning artist of the 2016 IPPA Awards.
