She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a focus in illustration from Maine College of Art in 2018. Cara enjoys painting detailed patterns, botanicals, and characters in gouache with a teeny tiny paintbrush.

Outside of illustration, Cara enjoys reading true crime novels, taking her cat for walks, and searching for the best ice cream shops in the tri-state area. Commission requests are open but not limited to chalkboard hand lettering & illustration, spot illustrations, album covers, tattoo designs, wedding invitations, pet portraits, etc.
