CAROLINE BLACKBURN

Caroline Blackburn, is an award winning native Los Angeles sculptural ceramic artist, who creates vessels that explore her interest in abstract painting, architecture, and nature. Caroline studied Art History and Studio Arts graduating magna cum laude from Boston College. At Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California she studied with some of the foremost artists of our times while earning a MFA focusing on fine arts.
In 2019, Caroline received the Donor’s Choice Award at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, Ink & Clay 44 exhibition. In 2014 Caroline received California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, University President’s Purchase Award (grand prize) at the Ink & Clay 40 exhibition and first place at the Beverly Hills Art Show in the spring of 2017, among many other awards. Her art work is in California State Polytechnic University Pomona’s Permanent Collection among many private collections.
Caroline’s work is informed by her extensive professional career in the Arts. While at the Museum of Contemporary Art from 1988 – 2002, she designed the museum’s educational programs working directing with many of the distinguished exhibiting artists. While at UCLA Architecture from 2002-2018 she directed public programs and print, media and marketing. Being saturated in contemporary art and architecture at this level is a rare and amazing opportunity that has shaped her understanding and artistic interpretation of art, architecture, and design.
Trained as a painter, her sculptural ceramic work focuses on bringing a freshness and immediacy to each piece through color, form, and surface texture. Every work is one of a kind whether it is thrown on a wheel, hand built, or a combination of both techniques. While investigating an interest in form, the work produces a continual shift between surface, texture, color and object. Each vessel provides a contemporary sense of life that is very personal and universal at the same time.
