Bio: Caren Helene Rudman (b. 1964, Chicago) has been an artist and curator for over 30 years focusing on the connection between mind and body. Her interest in health and heredity genetics began in graduate school where she received an MA from NYU/ ICP, in a prestigious 56 credit program affiliated with the International Center of Photography. She has participated in many group and solo exhibitions and her work is in private collections worldwide. Since 2010, she has merged her art and curatorial interests, and is currently the acting staff curator at The Art Center Highland Park.

Statement: My goal is to blur the lines between mind and body, exploring the body’s fragility and strength. I work in series, reflecting a sense of time and space. Using cut-up photographs, mixed media, and paint on different surfaces from canvas to plexiglass, I explore how energy comes through the body within the process of making art. My hope is by facing our mortality, we also find meaning and build connections.
