About

I am Caitlin Rose Boyle, an artist studying at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After growing up in Southern Maryland, a block away from the end of the world, I wandered slightly westward to the town Warhol once (grudgingly) called home.

My influences are pulled from my experiences and my surroundings: a life spent in rural St. Mary’s left me with an acute fauna fixation, with a special interest in the creepy crawlies who go bump in the night. Rats, bats, dogs and less approachable creatures are commonplace in my work, as I explore the gap between what is friendly and what is frightening. I enjoy working with the whimsical and macabre to make creations that are commonplace, yet otherworldly. Rather than be restrained to one media, I prefer to use the medium that best fits the work at hand- pen & ink, gouache, animation, video, plastics, copper and code all play a part in my developing practice.
